Hi Henrik I have had a few comments now regarding upgrading Hardware/OS and TSM at the same time not being the best idea so I am going to get TSM running as it is now but on the new hardware/OS and then upgrade TSM a week or so later.
Many thanks for the advice Farren |-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------| | Henrik Wahlstedt | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor | To| | Manager" | ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU | | <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> | cc| | | | | 21/03/2006 11:21 | Subject| | | Re: [ADSM-L] Upgrade & | | Please respond to | possible downgrade | | "ADSM: Dist Stor | questions. | | Manager" | | | <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------| Hi Farren, Downgarding? You cant if you dont have an DB backup that was taken in the earlier format, 5.1.6.2. I´m not so sure what you are trying to do but...in short. Do: Solaris 7, 5.1.6.2 Migrate all data from disk stgpools and backup DB. Halt Restore Db to the new server, Solaris 9, 5.1.6.2 Connect libraries etc. Define new disk stgpools Verfy and test. If not OK fall back to the old solution. If OK Next week, upgrade to Solaris 9, 5.2.2.7 And yes, format new volumes before you restore your DB. Secondly, dont do everything att the same time ie upgrade TSM and change your hardware. //Henrik -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Farren Minns Sent: den 21 mars 2006 09:51 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Upgrade & possible downgrade questions. Hi all This Saturday I will finally be moving from an on Solaris 7 server (TSM 5.1.6.2) to a new Solaris 9 (TSM 5.2.2.7) one. My question this time regards downgrading from 5.2.2.7 to 5.1.6.2 should I need to. Do I need to physically remove any existing dB and log volumes as well as un-install the software and then re-format them? Or, once I have installed 5.1.6.2 again, can I just issue a dsmserv restore db command and it will happily use the space previously used by 5.2.2.7? From the documentation it says to 'Reinitialize any database and recovery log volumes ' which I'm assuming means to remove and reformat.
