We are trying a first test of the tsm v6 upgrade procedure for a v5 tsm server. We are trying the network method. We restored the tsm v5 db to a test system and setup a tsm v6 install on a different test system.
lpar A - tsm v5 db (source) lpar B - tsm v6 system (destination) On lpar B we are running the gui upgrade wizard dsmupgdx. Following the prompts we enter what it wants: server for the tsm v5 db, userid, pwd begin new upgrade phase = "prepare the db for the upgrade" location of dsmserv.dsk and dsmserv.opt gives a list of tsm v5 db and log volumes - it's correct Then . . . get this ERROR: Beginning database preparation... sh[129]: /usr/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin/dsmupgrd: not found. Preparation completed with return code 499 It can't find /usr/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin/dsmupgrd, which exists: <lparB>:/home/root==>ls -ld /usr/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin/dsmupgrd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 21221457 Oct 24 2011 /usr/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin/dsmupgrd The utility is communicating with the tsm v5 system just fine - it found the dsmserv.dsk/dsmserv.opt. The dsmupgrd is there. Any thoughts on what we are doing wrong?
