You can install TSM 4.1 over a previous version of ADSM or TSM. This is called a "migrate install". Follow the instructions in this section to prevent loss of data from your system if you are migrating from a previous version.
The ADSM default installation directories have 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.
![]() | To return to ADSM or an earlier version of TSM, after a migrate install,
you must have a full database backup from that original version.
Be aware of the results of returning to ADSM or an earlier version of TSM:

This section describes some things you should consider before you perform a migrate install.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |backup db type=full devclass=tapeclass | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+Store the output volumes in a safe location.
You should also save any existing runfile scripts in a temporary directory.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |halt | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | swremove ADSM | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+Or
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | swremove TSM | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note: | Until the new version is installed and any required licenses are re-registered (step 8), clients will not be able to connect to the server. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |./dsmserv -upgradedb | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note: | Issue this command only one time. Do not include the UPGRADEDB parameter in any automated programs that start your server. |
Note: | The sample scripts may have been loaded when a previous version of ADSM or Tivoli Storage Manager was installed. If so, 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 scripts.smp | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |commmethod http | | httpport 1580 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |./dsmserv runfile dsmserv.idl | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |./dsmserv | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+See Starting and Stopping the Server for more details.
