The following are considerations when migrating from ADSM to Tivoli Storage
Manager Version 3.7.
When upgrading from ADSM to Tivoli Storage Manager, consider the
following:
Set up a Tivoli Storage Manager server on a computer other than the one
where your current ADSM production server resides. This provides a way
to test the new functions before upgrading your production database.
Perform a full database backup. See the ADSM
Administrator's Guide for details about a database backup. Also save a copy
of the volume history and device configuration files that were defined in the
server options file with the VOLHISTORY and DEVCONFIG options
respectively. For additional information, see the BACKUP VOLHISTORY and
BACKUP DEVCONFIG commands in the Administrator's Reference.
Note:
When the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 3.7 is started over a database
that was written by ADSM, the database is automatically upgraded.
