We just have a simple set-up of one TSM server connected via TCP to a 3494 lib with two drives in it. As far as I know, we don't use library managers and clients (I'm guessing not as this is the first I've heard of them) so I'm thinking we should be OK.

The upgrade process will define paths on all your servers, and it all looks and works ok. Until you want to define a new drive (or delete/redefine a drive) on a library client. Then you will discover that the 4.2 Admin Guide is wrong (5.1 is correct). All drive and path definitions now need to be done on the library manager. Only a library definition is done on the clients. If you don't use library managers and clients the upgrade process should define your paths and you should be OK.

However, SOP says be prepared for anything. I also recall that we were told to remove the DRIVE def's from all TSM library clients. The DRIVE's only need to be defined to the library manager/owner in a library sharing environment now. The devices still need to be defined to the OS on the library client, but TSM does not require the DRIVE to be defined to library clients. I am not sure that it is required to delete the DRIVE def's from clients, but was recommended.....

Or do I need to define new drives and lib too ?

So, next week I'm going from 4.2.2.12 to 5.1.6.2 on a Solaris 2.7 node. I understand that PATHS are a new feature (or complication) of 5.1 but want to know if, after upgrade I HAVE to define these. I was speaking to an IBM rep the other day and he said yes, but I have heard others say they didn't have to do it (sorry to keep hastling you Gary). Our setup is one tcp attached 3494 library with two scsi 3590 tape drives. I'm surprised that the upgrade would not see these devices already set up and create the paths accordingly. Anyone got a definte answer here. Also, looking at the quick-start guide on the 5.1.0.0 media, it doesn't mention paths. The Admin guide does, but not the quick start. mm Anyway, thanks for any pointers Farren Minns - John Wiley & Sons Ltd **************************************************************************** * This email transmission is confidential and intended for the person or organisation it is addressed to.
