That's exactly what I am expecting too. I assume that you can have a library SCSI attached as opposed to LAN (as I have). But in my case SCSI target IDs etc do not matter as I only point to an alias defined in the ibmatl.conf file. I also will have to change the drives from /dev/rmt/0stc,1stc to 2

Hi there Thanks for that but I'm still confused. I have already installed 5.1.6.2 on the new server and restored the dB etc to make sure that the old and new servers are exactly the same. I then upgraded to 5.2.2 and then to 5.2.2.7 without any problems (this is all just a test as the original se

Prior to TSM 5 you could get away with just an inventory, but now it has become necessary to delete and redefine the paths, which will wipe out all your libvols. (TSM 4 didn't even have paths.) It is critical to do the two checkin libvol commands in the order in your list - scratch first, and then

Hi again I have just been having a look at the powerpoint presentation and it says that the 'cleanup backupgroups' job runs as part of an upgrade to 5.2/5.3 anyway but that it can increase the length of time to covert the database. However, I have already tested going from 5.1.6.2 to 5.2.2.7 on th

Hi Dirk OK, I'm assuming that in this case I could install 5.1.6.2 on the new server, restore the dB, upgrade to 5.1.10 and then do the "cleanup backupgroups" rather than upgrading the old server? The reason being that as 5.1 is out of support, and as our present server has been running like a dre
