Upgrade or new install depends on whether you need any of your old backup data or not. Typically when I do an ADSM to TSM upgrade (I am in the midst of one now for a customer) I do a combination of an upgrade and a new install. What I mean by that is that I save the ADSM/TSM database and recovery log, but uninstall the ADSM code and reinstall the new TSM code. I choose to do this because it changes the directory structure of the installation to the Tivoli paths instead of the old IBM paths. I then upgrade the database and am able to restore all of my customer's old data.
Yet it is possible to run 2 or more TSM servers on 1 machine. Take a look at the quick start guide for a brief description on how to do this. -- Joshua S.

Hello, Just need some advice to push me in the right direction. I am currently running ADSM 3.1 (stoneage I know) with a IBM3570 Magstar. We have bought TSM version 4.2 and IBM3583 that I will install. What would the advice be to upgrade the old version of ADSM or to make a complete new installation?? A second question is, is it possible to run 2 dsm servers on the same system at the same time?......would be just temporarely..... We run this on a RS6000 with AIX 4.3 Med vänliga hälsningar / Best Regards Henrik Hansson Albany Door Systems AB Tel + 46 35 14 73 00 Fax + 46 35 14 73 99 Web; www.albanydoorsystems.com Mail; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
