Richard,

dsmupgrd is on the wrong LPAR.
The upgrade tools must be installed on the LPAR which has the v5 DB, not on the LPAR hosting the v6

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / kind regards

We are trying a first test of the tsm v6 upgrade procedure for a v5 tsm
server.
We are trying the network method.  We restored the tsm v5 db to a test
system
and setup a tsm v6 install on a different test system.

   lpar A - tsm v5 db (source)
   lpar B - tsm v6 system (destination)

On lpar B we are running the gui upgrade wizard dsmupgdx.
Following the prompts we enter what it wants:
   server for the tsm v5 db, userid, pwd
   begin new upgrade
   phase = "prepare the db for the upgrade"
   location of dsmserv.dsk and dsmserv.opt
   gives a list of tsm v5 db and log volumes - it's correct
   Then . . . get this ERROR:
      Beginning database preparation...
      sh[129]: /usr/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin/dsmupgrd:  not found.
      Preparation completed with return code 499

It can't find /usr/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin/dsmupgrd, which exists:
   <lparB>:/home/root==>ls -ld /usr/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin/dsmupgrd
   -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system     21221457 Oct 24 2011
/usr/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin/dsmupgrd

The utility is communicating with the tsm v5 system just fine - it
found the dsmserv.dsk/dsmserv.opt.  The dsmupgrd is there.

Any thoughts on what we are doing wrong?

Rick
