TSM upgrade to 5.5.1

Post TSM upgrade to 5.5.1 
Hi,

currently we have TSM 5.3.4.2 running on AIX 5.3 (and an IBM 3494 tape
library with eight 3592 drives, Atape 10.7.3.0) and are planning to
upgrade to 5.5.1.0 soon. I've already tested this upgrade on my test
machine, and it worked fine. This absence of any problem made me even a
bit suspicious. Smile

My questions:

- Which kind of tests would you recommend performing before you'd
declare a new TSM version 'ready for production'? I've read Technote
1196013 and the relevant section in ADSM.QuickFacts. Performing a simple
backup and restore from different clients worked fine, LAN-free is not used.

- Do you know of any pitfalls in 5.5.1.0 or should it be safe to use on
the server?

Regards,

Post TSM upgrade to 5.5.1 
For our last upgrade to 5.4 we ran expiration on the "test" upgrade and a few backups and restores without giving access to the real data. Once upgraded we ran a backup, restore with fresh data and a restore with "upgraded" data.

Our last upgrade we ran into a problem during reclaim (fixed with a patch), but we have not figured out a way to test that without endangering the data.

Try running Ops reporting on your test server Wink

It fails immediately when you run any report, due to a spelling mistake in the language query !
Other than that we have been running it for two days without any problem on Windows.

Same here with the spelling mistake. I installed TSM Console 5.5.0.3 and
it got rid of the errors from the bad SQL query.

Post TSM upgrade to 5.5.1 
Hi,

I have been using 5.5.0.0 (I know base level not good for production) and have just gone to 5.5.1 . No problems to date. In fact it seems more stable and faster at daily tasks. The upgrade process is amazingly fast and efficient.

Simple test were backup and restore of each client, TDP, Exchange etc.

Environment = AIX on P570 LPAR, EMC SAN, TS3310 Libr 108 Slots, 4 LTO3 Drives.

Good Luck
Regards

Hi Phil!
Same here! It seems to be a bug in TSMOR 5.5.1.
I didn't feel like reporting it to IBM (I know, I know, not very helpfull of me) so I went back to the 5.4 version.

If you use TSM operational reporting, then you need to install an older version of the TSM Management console such as 5.5.0.3, otherwise it will fail to generate any reports.

I would not consider this a major bug, more of an annoyance.

Unless you are actually running a TSM server on windows, and you can't install the console separately....

Sure you can. Just download the TSMCON package from the Windows server

Post TSM upgrade to 5.5.1 
I am trying to install the downlevel console on the windows TSM SERVER host.

The error message I receive is: "The Tivoli Storage Manager Console can not be installed with the Tivoli Storage Manager Server. Remove the TSM Server and try again."

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to poke around some more? I don't see any way to de-couple the installation of the console from the server or just remove the 5.5.1.0 console. Both are on a test box. Worst come to worst, I'll create a VM to run the down-level console to run the Op Rept against the TSM test server. Wanting to test some tweaking of the report (and not on a production TSM server).


Thanks Bill!

thanks!

Post TSM upgrade to 5.5.1 
Hi guys!
I decided to open a PMR for the TSMOR bug and support told me there already is an open APAR for this problem:

APAR= IC57290 SER= ANR2906E UNEXPECTED SQL LITERAL TOKEN - 'RUS' ERROR FROM OPERATIONAL REPORTING

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
The following select statement is issued for Operational Reporting:
07/09/2008 10:52:27 ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: select option_value as LANG from options where UPPER(option_value) in ('CHS','ZH_CN','CHT','ZH_TW','DEU','DE_DE','AMENG','EN_US','ENG','ESP','ES_ES','FRA','FR_FR','ITA','IT_IT','JPN','JA_JP','KOR','KO_KR','PTB','PT_ BR')'RUS','RU_RU') (SESSION: 31)
Invalid command syntax of the select statement results in the following error message:
07/09/2008 10:52:27 ANR2906E Unexpected SQL literal token - 'RUS'. (SESSION: 31)
This problem was introduced in the 5.5.1 server code level.
Platforms affected: 5.5.1
Initial Impact: Medium
Additional Keywords: or o/r op report

LOCAL FIX:
The problem can be circumvented by stopping the TSMReptSvc service and exiting the management console (mmc), then replacing the 5.5.1 tsmrept.exe with the the one from the 550GA install package and restarting the service. The management console can be started and the report refreshed to verify the problem has been resolved.
The 550GA tsmrept.exe may be in the C:\tsm_images\5.5.0.0-TIV-TSMSRV-Windows\TSM32\server\program files\Tivoli\TSM\console directory unless the directory was deleted after the GA install.

It's a pitty that I could not find this APAR through the IBM website. It could have saved me opening a PMR...

Hi,

currently we have TSM 5.3.4.2 running on AIX 5.3 (and an IBM 3494 tape library
with eight 3592 drives, Atape 10.7.3.0) and are planning to upgrade to 5.5.1.0
soon. I've already tested this upgrade on my test machine, and it worked fine.
This absence of any problem made me even a bit suspicious. Smile

My questions:

- Which kind of tests would you recommend performing before you'd declare a new
TSM version 'ready for production'? I've read Technote
1196013 and the relevant section in ADSM.QuickFacts. Performing a simple backup
and restore from different clients worked fine, LAN-free is not used.

- Do you know of any pitfalls in 5.5.1.0 or should it be safe to use on the
server?
