Quick Start


Migrating to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1

You can install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1 over a previous version of ADSM or Tivoli Storage Manager. This is called a "migrate install". A DSMSERV UPGRADEDB operation is automatically performed during a migrate install.

The ADSM default installation directories changed for Tivoli Storage Manager. If you have previously used Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) to create a disaster recovery plan file, that file refers to path names that may no longer be valid. After you have installed Tivoli Storage Manager, 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, see the Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager chapter in the Administrator's Guide.


Attention

To return to ADSM or an earlier version of Tivoli Storage Manager, after a migrate install, you must have a full database backup of that original version and the install code for the server of that original version.
  • You cannot restore a prior version's backed up database onto the latest version of the server. For instance, you cannot restore a Version 4.2 database onto Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1. For instructions on how to rollback to a prior version of the server see Appendix F, Removing the Tivoli Storage Manager Server.

Be aware of the results of returning to an earlier version of the server:

  • References to client files that were backed up, archived, or migrated to the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1 server will be lost.
  • Some existing volumes may be overwritten or deleted during the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.1 operation. If so, client files that were on those volumes and that were migrated, reclaimed, moved (MOVE DATA command), or deleted (DELETE VOLUME command) may no longer be accessible to the earlier version of the server.
  • Definitions, updates, and deletions of objects performed on the Version 5.1 server will be lost.

Migrating to AIX Version 5.1

Device driver conflicts occur if you have Tivoli Storage Manager version 4.2 installed on AIX version 4.3.3 and wish to migrate to AIX version 5.1. To resolve this, the Tivoli Storage Manager device support for AIX version 5.1 (tivoli.tsm.devices.aix5.rte) must be installed. To do this, follow these steps.

  1. Before migrating, record all Tivoli Storage Manager device definitions.
  2. Uninstall the fileset tivoli.tsm.devices.aix43.rte by using the command:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |installp -ug tivoli.tsm.devices.aix43.rte                                       |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    This will also cause tivoli.tsm.msg.[lang].devices to be uninstalled, where [lang] is en_US and any other "tivoli.devices" messages fileset that may be installed.

  3. Migrate to AIX version 5.1
  4. Install the filesets tivoli.tsm.devices.5.rte and tivoli.tsm.msg[lang].devices
  5. Redefine the devices.

Before Performing a Migrate Install

This section describes some things you should consider before you perform a migrate install.

Performing a Migrate Install

  1. Stop the server if it is running by entering:
    Admin Command Line
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |halt                                                                            |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    If you started the server as a background process, connect to the server as an administrative client and issue the HALT command. If you cannot connect to the server with an administrative client, you must use the kill command with the process ID number (pid) that is displayed at initialization.

    Note:
    Before you issue the kill command, ensure that you know the correct process ID for the server.
  2. If you have created scripts that have paths to /usr/lpp/adsmserv/bin, change the paths to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin.
  3. Install the latest Tivoli Storage Manager server software (see Installing Tivoli Storage Manager).
    Note:
    Until the new version is installed and any required licenses are reregistered (step 7), clients will not be able to connect to the server.
  4. Tivoli Storage Manager is shipped with sample command scripts that can be loaded into the database and run from an administrative client, administrative Web interface, or server console. They can also be included in administrative command schedules. The sample scripts, in scripts.smp, are primarily SELECT queries, but also include scripts that define volumes for and extend the database and recovery log and that back up storage pools.
    Note:
    The sample scripts may have been loaded when a previous version of ADSM or Tivoli Storage Manager was installed. Loading the sample scripts again at this point will overlay any existing scripts of the same name and any modifications made to those scripts will be lost.

    To load the sample scripts into the database, issue the following command:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |./dsmserv runfile /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/webimages/scripts.smp                  |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  5. To use the Web administrative interface:
    1. Your browser must provide Java(TM) 1.1.6 support. See System Requirements.
    2. Configure the HTTP communication method in your server options file (dsmserv.opt).
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      |commmethod          http                                                        |
      |   httpport         1580                                                        |
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  6. Start the server.
    AIX Command Line
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |./dsmserv                                                                       |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  7. Your licenses from the previous version are no longer valid and must be reregistered. See Registering Licenses.
    Note:
    The tivoli.tsm.license package is required to register licenses. This package is installed when you install the server package.
