Installing the V7.1.1 server and running the upgrade wizard

To complete the upgrade of the server to V7.1.1 in a Windows clustered environment, you must install the V7.1.1 server on all nodes in the cluster. Then, run the upgrade wizard, which inserts the new database and configures the system.

Procedure

  1. Install the Tivoli® Storage Manager V7.1.1 server on all nodes. For instructions, see Installing the V7.1 server.
  2. On the primary node, create the user ID for the upgraded server instance. The user ID for the instance must be defined to the domain controller. For instructions, see Creating the directories and the user ID for the upgraded server instance.
  3. On the primary node, create the directories for the upgraded server instance. Ensure that all database and recovery log directories are on a shared disk in the resource group. For instructions, see Creating the directories and the user ID for the upgraded server instance. Create the directories that the server instance requires for database and recovery logs, as identified in the table in the instructions.
  4. Configure remote access settings.

What to do next

If a native device driver is available on Windows for the tape drives or medium changers that you plan to use, use the native device driver. If a native device driver is not available on Windows for the tape drives or medium changers that you plan to use, install the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver by issuing the dpinst.exe /a command. The dpinst.exe file is in the device driver directory. The default directory is C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\device\drivers.

Complete the verification and configuration steps, as described in Taking the first steps after upgrade.
