Quick Start


Migrating from a Previous Version of ADSM

You can install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 3.7 over previous versions of ADSM (a "migrate install").


Figure AB0CT107 not displayed.

A migrate install will not normally create new database, recovery log, and storage pool volumes. However, if dsmserv.dsk is not in the /usr/lpp/adsm/serv/bin or /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory, the install creates the following volumes in the directory:

  • Database volume (db.dsm)

  • Recovery log volume (log.dsm)

  • Storage pool volumes (backup.dsm, archive.dsm, and spcmgmt.dsm)
To use your existing database, recovery log, and storage pool volumes, ensure that a copy of the dsmserv.dsk file is in /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin and the filesystem is mounted before you do a migrate install.

To migrate to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 3.7 do the following:

  1. Do a full back up of the current ADSM database. For example, if you have a tape device class named TAPECLASS, do a full backup of your database by issuing the following command:

    Figure AB0CT124 not displayed.

    	backup db type=full devclass=tapeclass
    

  2. Store the output volumes in a safe location. You will need these volumes if you want to return to the previous version of the server.

  3. In case there is a problem in the migration, you should consider saving to a different directory copies of the following files: dsmserv.dsk, dsmserv.opt, the device configuration file, the volume history file, and any runfile scripts that you may have.

    To install the new TSM drivers, you will need the output from lsdev -Cc tape and lsdev -Cc library. This does not apply to the IBM 3494, 3495, 3570, 3575, or 3590, which use drivers supplied with the devices.

  4. Stop the server if it is running by entering:

    Figure AB0CT124 not displayed.

    halt
    

  5. Install the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 3.7 server software (see Installing Tivoli Storage Manager).
    Note:Until the new version is installed and any required licenses are re-registered (step 9), clients will not be able to connect to the server.

  6. 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 backup storage pools.

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

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |dsmserv runfile /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/webimages/scripts.smp                    |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    Note:The sample scripts may have been loaded when ADSM Version 3.1 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.

  7. To use the web administrative interface:

    1. Your browser must have Java 1.1.6 support (for example, Netscape 4.06 or later and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later).

    2. Configure the HTTP communication method in your server options file (dsmserv.opt).
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      |commmethod          http                                                        |
      |   httpport         1580                                                        |
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    3. Enter the following command:
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      |dsmserv runfile /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/webimages/dsmserv.idl                    |
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  8. Start the server.

  9. Your licenses from the previous version of ADSM are no longer valid and must be re-registered. See Registering Licenses.
    Note:The tivoli.tsm.license package is required to register licenses. This package is installed when you install the TSM Version 3 server package. See Registering Licenses for details.
