Patch 01. If your current Command View TL software is older than 3.6.00, upgrade to version
3.6.00 before you upgrade to 3.7.00.
Before upgrading Command View TL to the latest version, backup the TapeAssure database. To
perform the backup, refer to
“Backing up the TapeAssure database” (page 113) and “Saving or
copying a database backup file” (page 115) .
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Command View TL (Command View ESL prior to
version 1.5), follow the procedure below to install the new version over the old version. All previous
settings (device list, support tickets, proxy settings and so forth) are migrated during the upgrade.
During the upgrade, the Command View TL installation path (destination folder) will point to the
existing installation path where an earlier version of Command View TL is installed. Do not change
the Command View TL installation path to a new location.
Do not click cancel or close the installation dialog while the Command View TL installation/upgrade
is in progress.
