Re: [ADSM-L] TSM server upgrade from v5.5 to v6.2

Saravanan,
There are two available options that
you might not be aware of.
IBM has two workshop offerings that
focus on migrating or upgrading from TSM 5.5.x to TSM 7.1.
1. Butterfly Migration Workshop - This
consulting engagement focuses on leading the migration planning and data
discovery, resulting in a detailed migration plan and project plan. The
migration or upgrade is performed using the IBM Butterfly software. It
allows you to keep your current environment up while the cut-over is being
performed
2. TSM Upgrade to 7.1 Planning
Workshop - This consulting engagement provides assistance in performing
the TSM upgrade/migration planning, configuration and knowledge transfer.
The goal of the workshop is to provide you with a detailed
roadmap, based on your environment, of the best, most efficient process
to get you to TSM 7.1.
That said, based on your requirements
and TSM environment, in order to get to TSM 7.1, you would need to upgrade
to 6.2.5 first. Then upgrade your clients, then your data protection modules,
if any. Any Library Managers need to be upgraded first. The good
news is, once your TSM server is upgraded, you can configure the Administration
Center (a requirement, as the Web interface isn't supported nor will it
work at the TSM 6.x + level) to upgrade your TSM clients to 7.1 using the
auto deployment tool.
The reason for going to version 6.2.5
first, there is less down time during the database conversion. TSM
6.3.4 and above use a different DB2 database version. The version used
at 6.2.5 use DB2 tables that allow for a smoother transition from TSM 5.
You will read, and probably hear that you can upgrade directly to
TSM 7.1, which is true, but the caveats are enormous. A major show stopper
is that TSM 7.1 does not support TSM 5 clients/servers/agents.
If you do this on your own, I agree
that the hybrid method is your only real option. I believe that this site
is open to the public
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/index?tag=tsm-v.6-hybrid-upgrade-migration-method
it should help

Re: [ADSM-L]
TSM server upgrade from v5.5 to v6.2
Sent by:

I have new hardware migration plan but has any one
tried this approach
Step1: Build new hardware with same hostname but temp IP address and connect
all the network cables ( it has backup vlan)
Same hostname will not impact DB2 database restart
Step 2: Take flash copy backup and mount TSM 5.5 server in the new hardware
Step 3: upgrade 5.5 to 6.2 and it might take 50 hrs and it will not have
50 hrs data in the new TSM server
Step 4 : once TSM upgrade completed then swap production up address and
bring to production
Old server will be available with temp IP address
It Will take 8 hrs for this cut over
Here is my challenge starts
How to copy 50 hrs difference to my new database
Is there any way to export 50 hrs of meta data ?
If it's having only 2 weeks retention then I will straight away decommission
hit after 2 weeks but it has daily long retention jobs
Please feel free to comment and your help is really appreciated
