Using the "new hardware network" upgrade process the upgrade basically prepares the V6 database on the new server, exports the information from the V5 database and imports it into the new V6 one. The old V5 database remains untouched.
Be sure to disable all scheduled tasks beforehand on the old server, such as maintenance, migration, expiration, reclaims, as well as disable client access so no data on the old server will change during the upgrade. After the upgrade completes shut down the TSM Server service on the old server. Once you verify the new server is operating optimally and begins performing production backups it can be decommissioned. If things go south the old server just bring it back online. (assuming it has access to all of its original devices (disk storage, library, etc.). -Rick Adamson -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of mik Sent: Friday, December 06, 2013 6:25 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Question Rick, Are you sure ? because when i see the process for this upgrade http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r3/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsm.srv.upgrd.doc%2Ft_srv_upgrd_s4_nsnm.html We manipulate on the production server May be i'am wrong ^^ Regards and thanks for everybody for the reply, Mickael +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by bobpatrick808...@yahoo.fr via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
