Hi
TSM Server v6.1.5.0
On Windows 2008
I have a need to upgrade TSM to v6.3.3
On the same physical host, no problem, straight forward
The current host is 32-bit, so we will move TSM onto a new physical host
with more memory and of course it will be 64-bit to support TSM v6.3. Can't
get away from this as the customer has already purchased the hardware.
My question: IBM have a documented migration path from v5 to v6, running on
a different physical host. There is also the v6-v6 upgrade path on the same
host. Have performed both without issues.
But are there any special requirements for v6-v6 across different hosts?
I was thinking either:
1) Install v6.1 on the new host, then upgrade to v6.3
or
2) Build v6.3 on the new host, then restore a v6.1 database backup down
onto v6.3, if that is possible. I remember doing something similar in v5,
where the DR server was a higher v5 than the production server. TSM warned
me when i restored the database, but was happy to run the restore.
I guess the the other thing to consider is moving the library connectivity
from the old to the new host.
Comments/Thoughts welcome
