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 ?
