Hi Jerome,

What is the current size of the TSM database ? If it's moderate, it's far 
simpler and faster to do an upgrade following one of the methods presented in 
the upgrade guide.
I'll really advise you to do this.

Regards,
Erwann

Hi fello TSM'ers,

I need the advice of my fellow Backup admins :)

With TSM 5.5 nearing EOL support and my customer going the Exchange
2010 the hand has finally been forced to go with TSM 6.x

My current setup;
Server: w2k3
TSM version 5.5.6 - I have about 60 servers being backed all windows
based. Quite a bit of historical data going back 7 years for my yearly
backups.

I would like to know how best to approach this upgrade?


1.       What I am thinking is to build a new 2008 R2 server.

2.       Do a fresh 6.3.3 TSM install

3.       Export the dev/config files

4.       Export the nodes

The above might be incorrect as I am still exploring options.

Or should I be looking at Migrating TSM 5.5 onto a new 2008 R2 server
and then upgrading from there. I am looking at the shortest possible
way of achieving this.

Regards,

Jerome Swartz
