Hi Geoffrey:
To answer your questions
-Well you could remove the old services with dsmcutil remove
- I didn't recall having to explicity do a dsmcutil install for the backup clients,
just the MS-SQL agent
- We've never used the web component. Other than the scheduled backups, the NT admins
go directly to the server, the AIX are done with the command line
My surprise is the removal the the client admin interface. I found it very useful for
checking the status of all the backups and current volume allocations by storage
group. The 3.1 interface still works however.

Larry,
I've upgraded some of my 3.1's to 3.7 without any problems. It found the old
install in the IBM directory ok. However it didn't remove the services that
were previously there, at least mine didn't. One problem I did notice is
that the "ADSM" services remained behind even though the new "TSM" services
were added, very annoying even though we have the utility to clean it all
up. The other problem is it wants to install a new program group and doesn't
remove the old one. Don't know why both of these can't be cleaned up with
the install. I wonder why the services you mentioned from the TSM install
seemed new to you, I've always had them in 3.1.08 version I installed.
If the path to the clientdir is actually different from the previous install
you need to make sure the service knows where it is, I just sent out a
separate note on that option when installing the service.
