    6.x had previously been uninstalled.
    
    
    
    
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    Tivoli Storage Manager Server V7 and later

Local fix

  • Use the following steps as workaround to the above problem
    
    1.  Uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager Server V6.x
    
    
    2.  Make a backup copy of the instance.dat file which gets
        created during the uninstall.
        It is stored in the top most installation directory.
    
        Example:  C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM
    
        Copy the file to the C:\ directory
    
    
    3.  Perform the install of Tivoli Storage Manager Server V7.1
    
    
    4.  Use these steps to upgrade the instance.  These steps will
        work with 7.1 even though it says 6.1 to 6.2
