upgrade or migration, you must have a full database backup and the
installation software for the original server. You must also have
key configuration files:
- Volume history file
- Device configuration file
- Server options file
- dsmserv.dsk file (for a server upgrade or migration from V5 to V7.1)
- Upgrading from Tivoli Storage Manager V6.2 or V6.3 to V7.1
You can upgrade the server directly from Tivoli Storage Manager V6.2 or V6.3 to V7.1. You do not need to uninstall V6.2 or V6.3. - Upgrading from Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1 to V7.1
You can upgrade the Tivoli Storage Manager server from V6.1 to V6.3, and then upgrade the server to V7.1. It is not possible to upgrade the server directly from V6.1 to V7.1. - Removing GSKit Version 7 after upgrading to Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1
The Tivoli Storage Manager installation wizard upgrades GSKit Version 8 and later. GSKit Version 7 is not removed or upgraded when you upgrade to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1, even if it was installed with an earlier version of Tivoli Storage Manager.
