Just to clarify this statement: “Depending on old OS and new OS, you may want to upgrade before or after the move.”
You will want to move from v6 to v6, then upgrade to v7 Or upgrade to v7, and move from v7. I have seen cases where the new OS didn’t support v6, so they upgrade on the old machine to v7 first, then migrate to a new machine running V7. Also seen cases where the old OS didn’t support v7, so move from v6 to v6 on the new machine, then upgrade to v7. Because the upgrade and the move are two separate tasks, they don’t need to happen at the same time. The order will depend on the environment. - Thanks, Marc... ________________________________________________________ Marc Lanteigne Accelerated Value Specialist for Spectrum Protect From: Marc Lanteigne [mailto:marclantei...@ca.ibm.com] Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2017 7:42 AM To: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Cc: ADSM-L <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM 6 to 7 Upgrade questions Hi John, You are actually doing two separate tasks. Moving to a different machine and upgrading the software. You have to do one before the other. Depending on old OS and new OS, you may want to upgrade before or after the move. The actual move is very similar to a DR exercise. At a very high level: - install OS - install Soectrum Protect - restore DB - swing storage from old to new server Marc...

However the documentation I found (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/srv.install/t_srv_upgrade63_71.html) only provides a way to make an in-place upgrade. But I need to move to new hardware. Is there a way to extract the database and import it on the new system, like it was for TSM 5 to 6 upgrade? Can i use the v5 dsmupgrd utilities to extract the TSM 6 database to Tape, and then TSM 7 dsmserv insertdb to import the database again? Best Regards, John
