You're much better off to simply do a dr prepare and do the upgrade
in-place.  If the upgrade fails for whatever reason, reinstall 6.2.3 and
do a db restore.

It's more easy install TSM V7.1 in new TSMserver , and then make the
upgrade by the upgrading using tape.

You  will never touch the TSM server V6.x to do it, make a dbbackup to
disk, copy files and then try to do the upgrade to TSM 7.x
