Chapter 22. Tivoli Storage Manager upgrade considerations

22.4 Performing client upgrades
In this section we discuss the steps for upgrading clients to V5.3.2 on AIX and
Windows platforms. For more information, refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User’s Manual for your platform.
In contrast to the server upgrade process, you can directly install the desired
version of the client. There is no need to install the base level first and then the
patch level.
You may want to keep a separate copy of your client options files (dsm.opt for
Windows, dsm.opt and dsm.sys for UNIX/Linux) before migration. In any case,
these files will not be overwritten during the upgrade, as long as they exist in the
installation directory.
For client hardware and software requirements and supported file systems see
the Tivoli Storage Manager client support Web site at:

tRequirements
22.4.1 Windows
Tivoli Storage Manager supports a wide variety of Windows server and
workstation operating systems. For detailed requirements see the Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&uid=swg21197133&lo
c=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en
Essentially, you may directly install the desired client level over any previous
client version. The InstallShield Wizard removes the previous client code and
installs the new version.
Before you start with the migration, stop any client-related processes, such as
client scheduler or Web client.
The upgrade will not replace existing client files, such as dsm.opt, dsmerror.log,
dsmsched.log, and dsmwebcl.log. Depending on the features chosen to be
installed, the InstallShield Wizard may ask to reboot the machine after the
installation is finished. This is the case when you specify to install or upgrade
Image Backup and Open File Support client components.
After the upgrade is done, you may start the backup-archive client GUI or CLI
interface to check whether the installation was successful and subsequently
restart client services, such as the Web client and scheduler.
