Hello,
how to migrate from TSM Server 5.5.x on Windows to TSM Server 7.1.7 on Linux ( 
only one tape library ) ?
because my way ( see 2nd ) is not supported


1st I tryed: ( exportdb --> insertdb )

VM1: TSM 5.5.7 on Windows and VM2: TSM 7.1.7 on Windows

VM1:
restore backup from productive System.
install UpgradeTool

VM2:
migrate on VM2 with dsmupgdx from VM1
then I had TSM 7.1.7 running.
Did a exportdb on TSM 7.1.7 on Windows

If "insertdb" on Linux TSM Server 7.1.7 got this error:

/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv insertdb manifest=/import/manifest.txt

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Linux/x86_64 Version 7, Release 1, Level 7.100
...
"ANR1953E INSERTDB: Linux/x86_64 cannot be the target of a database upgrade 
from Windows."



2nd I tryed: ( local migrate )

Install TSM Server 5.5.7 on Linux ( SLES 12 SP2 ) + TSM Client 5.5.4.0
restore backup from productive System.
Install UpgradeTool

Upgrade to TSM 7.1.3 an run "dsmupgdx"
for migrate local Server (Network Method).
Then TSM Server 7.1.3 is running with Data from TSM Server 5.5.x Windows
Then Update to 7.1.7.300

this works... but IBM support say by phonecall - " .. this is not supported " 
:-(



Any proposals for a supported way ?



Thanks
Dennis
