Andrew, If this is a typical install, there should only be 1 version of the TSM server software, so only 1 installp should be needed. I'm not sure why you would need to copy anything over. You can run 2 TSM servers off of the same binary, you just need to make sure they both point to different dsmserv.opt files.
On our hosts: We have the first TSM server start with these environment settings: the DSMSERV_CONFIG path is set to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin2/dsmserv.opt the DSMSERV_DIR path is set to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin And we have the second one start with these environment settings: the DSMSERV_CONFIG path is set to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt the DSMSERV_DIR path is set to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin As you can see, we basically create a little bin2 directory for the second TSM server where we have its dsmserv.opt, device.config, accounting log, volhist, etc) Ben -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Meadows, Andrew Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 11:56 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Upgrading with split installs I have TSM 5.1 installed on an aix 5.1 machine. I am looking to upgrade to the latest level of TSM, but I have 2 instances of TSM installed on this machine. I am trying to get a plan together for the upgrade but I just want to make sure that I am thinking correct here. I should only have to go through the install p install once for the original TSM install then for the socund install all I would have to do is copy the files over. Is that correct? Just wanting to make sure that I have my ducks in a row before I start this.
