Upgrading tsm 6.1 to the next maintenance level

Initial TSM server version:6.1.3.2

Target TSM server version:6.1.4.2

OS Plateform version:AIX 6.1.4.0 64 bit

• Download tsm server code from IBM ftp site:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/server/AIX/6.1.4.2/

• Halt tsm server. Halting TSM server would automatically stop DB2 server.
• If after stopping TSM server db2 still keep on running ( process db2sync ) then it can be stopped  using db2stop and If db2stop not working db2stop force can be tried or simply kill db2sync process.
• I experienced for some reason in some cases halting tsm server does not kill dsmserv process immediately so need to kill dsmserv and then stop tsm db2 server as stated above.
• Save the downloaded bin file inside a dir and extract code by executing ./6.1.4.2-TIV-TSMALL-AIX.bin.This will extract code inside the same directory.
• Using root execute following command:

./install.bin -i console

Applying fixes would look similar to fresh tivoli storage manager installation except it would not include license component.

Installed component would include following:

TSM Server
DB2 9.5
TSM Devices
TSM Storage Agent.
