We've used a similar procedure in the past for quicker upgrades and a quick backout.
We would mirror the TSM Logs and DB on separate physical disk drives. These disk drives were internal to our server and we have another server that is the same so the upgrade consisted of (simplified): Shutting down TSM on old server, swap drives, bring up new server, run upgrade, re-mirror DB and log. If any problems, the original server is still functional. -----Original Message----- From: fred johanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 4:24 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Question from a non-TSM person I was asked if it was possible to move TSM from machine to machine by mirroring the DB and log, breaking the mirror, moving the mirrored portions to a new machine, adding the old mirror volumes to dsmserv.dsk, and bringing up the new machine as if nothing happened?
