IC76173: NEW SERVER V6 TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER SERVER UPGRADE PROCESS CPU CONSTRAINTS NEED CLARIFICATION.

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• While upgrading from an existing V5 server to a new V6 server,
  there are CPU requirements that need clarification within the
  Tivoli Storage Manager documentation.
  .
  This section is located under the "Upgrading" section within
  the section titled "Upgrading the server from V5 to V6".
  .
  If you are upgrading your V5 server to V6 on a new machine,
  there are the following CPU constraints:
  .
  Operating System:      Group1:        Group2:
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  Linux                  x86            POWER
                         x86_64         zSeries
  .
  Operating System:      Group1:        Group2:
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  Solaris                x86_64         Sparc 64-Bit
  .
  Operating System:      Group1:        Group2:
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  AIX                    POWER
  .
  Operating System:      Group1:        Group2:
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  HP-UX                  Itanium
  .
  Operating System:      Group1:        Group2:
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  Windows                x86
                         x86_64
  .
  A Tivoli Storage Manager upgrade from V5 to a new V6 machine
  can only be completed to the same operating system.  If the
  CPU architecture of the new V6 machine compared to the old
  V5 machine is different,it must be within the same CPU group
  (Group1 or Group2) within the above chart to be successful.
  .
  Here are some examples:
  .
  1. You can upgrade a V5 server running on Linux x86 to a V6
     server running on Linux x86_64.
  2. You can upgrade a V5 server running on Windows x86 to a V6
     server running on Windows x86_64.
  3. You cannot upgrade a V5 server running on Linux x86 to a V6
     server running on Linux POWER.
  4. You cannot upgrade a V5 server running on Solaris SPARC
     to a V6 server running on Solaris x86_64.
  5. You cannot upgrade any V5 server running one operating
     system to any V6 server running a different system,
     regardless of the CPU architecture.
  .
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  None.
  .
  Initial Impact:
  High
  .
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  All 5.X to 6.X Tivoli Storage Manager server upgrades using
  the extractdb/insertdb process to a new machine.
  .
  Additional Keywords:
  TSM ZZ61 ZZ62 upgrade install cpu architecture endian

  Proposed Closing Text
  
  Users Affected:
  All Tivoli Storage Manager server users.
  
  Problem Description:
  See error description.
  
  Problem Summary:
  *
  
  Problem Conclusion:
  The "Tivoli Storage Manager Upgrade and Migration Guide
  for V5 Servers" was updated to describe the hardware and
  software restrictions that apply to upgrades from V5 to V6
  on a new system.
  
  A table advises the user about how to upgrade the system,
  based on the existing hardware and software on the V5 server.
  The table includes the following content:
  
  V5 server: AIX running on an IBM POWER system, then
  V6 server: AIX running on an IBM POWER system
  
  V5 server: HP-UX running on an Itanium system, then
  V6 server: HP-UX running on an Itanium system
  
  V5 server: HP-UX running on a PA-RISC system, then
  V6 server: HP-UX running on an Itanium system
  Comment: HP-UX running on PA-RISC is not supported for V6
  servers.
  
  V5 server: Linux running on an IBM POWER system, then
  V6 server: Linux running on an IBM POWER system
  
  V5 server: Linux running on an Itanium system (IA64), then
  V6 server: Linux running on an x86_64 system
  Comment: Linux running on Itanium is not supported for V6
  servers.
  
  V5 server: Linux running on an x86_32 system, then
  V6 server: Linux running on an x86_64 system
  Comment: Linux running on x86_32 is not supported for
  V6 servers.
  
  V5 server: Linux on System z, then
  V6 server: Linux on System z
  
  V5 server: Windows running on an Itanium system (IA64), then
  V6 server: Windows running on an x86_64 system
  Comment: Windows running on Itanium is not supported for V6
  servers.
  
  V5 server: Windows running on an x86_32 system, then
  V6 server: Windows running on an x86_64 system
  
  In addition, a note that said that the user cannot upgrade
  Tivoli Storage Manager to a different operating system was
  changed to the following:
  
  Restriction: In most cases, you cannot upgrade your server
  to run on an operating system that is different from the
  operating system that it currently runs on. For
  example, you cannot upgrade a server running on an AIX system
  to a server running on a Linux system.
  
  Affected platforms:  AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Windows.
