Did you install the Server Upgrade utilities for the level you are
upgrading from? For instance, when I did my conversion from 5.5.7 to V6.3
Linux, I downloaded and installed:

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com//storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/server-upgrade/v5r5/Linux/5.5.7.000/x86_64/5.5.7.000-TIV-TSMUPG-LinuxX64.tar.bz2


which when installed, contains dsmupgrd
