Thanks for all the replies. It looks like the '-outfile' option is the one that will work....

Everything went smoothly. It even rebuilt the new "path" configurations for the tapes and drives by itself. I didn't have the "cleanup backupset" issue because this TSM server only backs up some VMS clusters, so I had no "SYSTEM OBJECTS". I most likely will not be so lucky in 2 weeks when I have to upgrade some TSM servers that backup NT hosts) I've only encountered 1 problem this far: I gather some stats off of the TSM server with various scripts. When I run these scripts, I typically put a "</dev/null" on the end, otherwise it gets to the first "(<ENTER> to continue, 'C' to cancel)" prompt and just sits there. As a simple example: dsmadmc -id=## -pass=## "select volume_name from volumes where devclass_name like '3590DEV' " </dev/null (to get a listing of tape numbers of a certain device class). This has always worked in the past but now that I'm at 5.1, it gets to the first "(<ENTER> to continue, 'C' to cancel)" prompt and then perpetually spews: ... The character '#' stands for any decimal integer.The only valid responses are characters from this set: [Enter, C] The character '#' stands for any decimal integer.The only valid responses are characters from this set: [Enter, C] The character '#' stands for any decimal integer.The only valid responses are characters from this set: [Enter, C] ... It seems to dislike the "</dev/null" very much. Anybody seen this? Is there a better way to do this? I'm guessing there is, otherwise it would be in the archives. Something like a "-youdonthavetohittheenterkey" option. Somebody enlighten me. ;-) Thanks, Ben ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by MessageLabs. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service.
