Thanks John, you´ve helped a lot! Linux and AIX installations are quite alike.

Even when you uninstall the code, the server's dsmserv..opt, dsmserv.dsk, devconfig, volhist, database files, etc will all still be there. They don't get deleted by the unintall. So when the install of the new version happens, the install script will automatically upgrade the TSM database if it needs to do so, unless you have played with the defaults, and don't have the TSM server installed in the default place. Even then it is no big deal, you will just have to use the 'dsmserv upgradedb' command after the upgrade to cause the database to get updated. Consult the Admin Reference for the details of the upgradedb if you need to. Best Regards, John D.

The Install Guide tells you to perform several actions prior to installing TSM 5.5, including removing completely TSM 5.3 code. The same guide however, tells you that if an older version is detected, the install script will then use the -U option from the rpm command and will upgrade the product. So, the question is, what is the best way to do this upgrade? Shoud the older code be removed prior to installation or not? There are three devices connected to the server, two IBM 3494 libraries (one is an extension) and one storage. All connected through a fibre channel switch. Any help is appreciated.
