Quick Start


Migrating to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1

When Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1 is started over a database that was written by ADSM or a previous version of TSM, the database is automatically upgraded. If you are migrating to TSM Version 5.1, consider doing the following:

Device Support

Before migrating your TSM server, ensure that the new server provides support for your current storage devices. Refer to the Device Support section of the TSM Web site at http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html.

To migrate from TSM 4.2.x.x

Install the new version and accept the default path, which will point to the existing server location. The setup program will automatically upgrade your TSM database and administrative Web interface.

To migrate from TSM 4.1.x.x

  1. Write down the directory path of your current TSM server.
  2. Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs dialog to uninstall the current TSM server.
  3. Install the new TSM server to the same location as the original. The setup program will automatically upgrade your TSM database and administrative Web interface.

To migrate from TSM 3.7.x.x or ADSM 3.1.x.x

  1. Write down the directory path of your current TSM server.
  2. Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs dialog to uninstall the current TSM server.
  3. Install the new TSM server to the same location as the original. After you complete the installation, the Initial Configuration Task List dialog will appear. Close this dialog.
  4. Update and run the script tsmfixup.cmd, located in the console directory. (Refer to the script header for update instructions.) The script will automatically upgrade your TSM database and administrative Web interface.

If you are migrating from ADSM and have created a disaster recovery plan file using Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM), be aware that TSM does not use the same default installation directories as ADSM. Disaster recovery installation path references may no longer be valid.

After you have migrated to TSM, you should back up your storage pools and database and create a new disaster recovery plan file. For the sequence and details of the procedure, refer to the Administrator's Guide.

If, after installing Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1, you wish to return to ADSM or a previous version of TSM, refer to Removing the Tivoli Storage Manager Server for instructions.
