We recently went from 4.1.6 to 5.1.7. The readme in 5.1.7 stated there were significant upgrade db perf in 5.1.7 and if you are upgrading from 4.x go to 5.1.7 then install lic from 5.1.x base. This worked really well for us, your other procedures are good as well. (Backup db etc)

Could you help? Are they any documents in how to install TSM 5.1.7.3? We have window clients. Do I install TSM 5.1 base and then apply maintenances? environment: AIX 5.1 TSM 4.2.1.9 server IBM H50 359x Library & 4 3590 tape drives Also in my case with a cloned rootvg, could I do the db backup as follows: backup db type=full devclass=3590 backup devconfig filename=devconfig.date backup volhistory filename=volhistory.date Where do I get the backup tape volser, from the activity log? How do I eject this backup tape from the library? We have 349x library and drives. And if I need to back out from the migration, could I just do a restore of this backup tape by issuing: dsmserv restore db volumes=volser(from the backup) devclass=3590 commit=yes I need to write up a plan for our migration. Please advise. Thanks, Helen Tam
