I am scheduling to do the above and want to make sure I am not missing
something, especially since the upgrade guide is a little confusing.

Current config - RedHat 5.9, TSM 5.5.6.100
New config - RedHat 6.4, TSM 6.3.3.200

What I am proposing (all done on the new, virgin server)

1.  Install 5.5.7 server and server upgrade
2.  Backup DB, devconfig and volhist on 5.5 server and halt/shut down
3.  Restore 5.5 server DB backup using last devconfig and volhist
4.  Install 6.3.3
5.  Run dsmupgdx process which does the UPGRADEDB, EXTRACTDB and then
configs and loads the new DB
6.  Switch over network connections/config

The last version of the upgrade book I have has you going through the
upgradedb and extractdb manually but then when you run the dsmupgdx is does
it all over again......

Am I missing anything?

FWIW, next up is replacing my 6.1 server....fun.....
