You will never touch the TSM server V6.x to do it, make a dbbackup to disk, copy files and then try to do the upgrade to TSM 7.x 2014-04-03 10:24 GMT-06:00 Ryder, Michael S <michael_s.ry...@roche.com>: > Hello Folks: > > I'm preparing to upgrade our TSM 6.2.3 server to TSM 7.1 -- both are on > Windows. > > It's a side-by-side upgrade, and if possible I'd like to leave the existing > TSM 6.2.3 environment alone during the upgrade, so that I can easily halt > the upgrade if I run into any problems. > > I've been searching TSM documentation and the Internet for a few days now > and can't find anything reliable -- is there an upgrade path I can take to > let me do that?
