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
