Now you may start the server instance on the foreground to check whether database upgrade was performed or if you are required to do it manually using the dsmserv upgradedb command. In most cases, database upgrade should be automatically performed as part of the migration. After verifying the server, you need to halt the server again and proceed with applying the fix level to your base level server. In contrast to base-level installation, you do not need to run SMIT installation using the "Install and update from ALL available software" option. Instead, just type smitty update_all on the shell prompt and follow the SMIT screens to apply your patch filesets. When your installation is finished, you may review the installed filesets level using the lslpp -L command, as shown in Example 22-7. Example 22-7 Listing of server filesets after applying the patch level root@banda> lslpp -L | grep -i tivoli tivoli.tsm.devices.acsls 5.3.2.2 C tivoli.tsm.devices.aix5.rte 5.3.2.2 C tivoli.tsm.license.aix5.rte64 5.3.2.0 C tivoli.tsm.license.cert 5.3.2.0 C tivoli.tsm.loc.server.ela 5.3.2.0 C tivoli.tsm.msg.en_US.devices 5.3.2.2 C tivoli.tsm.msg.en_US.server 5.3.2.2 C tivoli.tsm.server.aix5.rte64 5.3.2.2 C tivoli.tsm.server.com 5.3.2.2 C tivoli.tsm.server.webcon 5.3.2.2 C F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 64 F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 64 F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager F IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Web Note that license filesets are not upgraded to the V5.3.2.2 since they were not part of the fix packages and they do not need explicit update. Now you should follow the steps described in 22.2.4, "Testing new updates" on page 699. If the migration was successful, enable your server for production as described in 22.2.5, "Enabling production mode" on page 700. Chapter 22. Tivoli Storage Manager upgrade considerations 713
