Preparing space for the migration process
Verify that you have sufficient space on the V7.1.1 system for the migration process.- Backing up configuration information
Before you install the Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1.1 server, back up critical files and information for each server instance. The files are required after you install the V7.1.1 server. You also need these files if you decide to revert to using the V5 server after the upgrade. - Installing and configuring the V7.1.1 server
In preparation for migration of the V5 server from the z/OS system, install and complete an initial configuration of the V7.1.1 server. - Preparing the V5 server on z/OS for migration
To prepare the V5 server for migration, ensure that the server is upgraded to V5.5.6 or later. Then, on the V5.5.6 or later server, install the z/OS media server. Issue the ZMSPREPARE command to identify additional steps that must be completed before data migration. Then, back up data.
