Quick Start
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:
- Set up a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1 server on a
non-production machine. This provides a way to test new function before
upgrading your production database.
- Perform a full database backup. See the Administrator's
Guide for details. Also save a copy of the volume history and
device configuration files. For additional information, see the BACKUP
VOLHISTORY and BACKUP DEVCONFIG commands in the Administrator's
Reference.
- Note:
- You cannot restore a prior version's backed up database onto the latest
version of TSM Server. For instance, you cannot restore a TSM
4.2 database onto TSM 5.1 server. For instructions on how
to roll back to a prior version of the TSM server see Removing the Tivoli Storage Manager Server.
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.
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.
- Write down the directory path of your current TSM server.
- Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs dialog to uninstall the
current TSM server.
- 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.
- Write down the directory path of your current TSM server.
- Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs dialog to uninstall the
current TSM server.
- 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.
- 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.
