Upgrading from V6.1 to V7.1.8

You can upgrade the Tivoli® Storage Manager server from V6.1 to V6.3, and then upgrade the server to V7.1.8. It is not possible to upgrade the server directly from V6.1 to V7.1.8.

Before you begin

Ensure that you retain the installation media from the base release of the V6.1 and V6.3 servers. If you obtained the Tivoli Storage Manager software from a DVD, ensure that the DVD is available. If you obtained the Tivoli Storage Manager software from a downloaded package, ensure that the downloaded files are available. If the upgrade fails, and the server license module is uninstalled, the installation media from the server base release are required to reinstall the license.

Procedure

  1. Upgrade the server from V6.1 to V6.3, as described in Upgrading from Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1 to 6.3 or later.
  2. Upgrade the server from V6.3 to V7.1.8, as described in Upgrading from V6.2 or V6.3 to V7.1.8.
