This is getting even more bizarre - now it shows 47% utilized and 100%
Migratable?   All of my other 6.x server show both of these numbers
approximately the same, not such wide swings and crazy numbers.

Sounds like some kind of bug due to the conversion from 5.5 to 6.2.3.100 -
anyone have any suggestions what to Goog?  Everything I have found so far
is the opposite of my experiences and usually related to the cache
setting, which is NO for me and has always been NO!

Well, it did it again.

Over the weekend, things got all hung up due to nodes not being able to
backup to the disk LZ (all the tape drives were busy).  Q STG showed 22%
migratable but 100% utilized so the hi/lo values never kicked in for
auto-migration.

What the heck is going on.  None of my other 6.2.3.100 servers behave like
this.  Just this one that was upgraded from 5.5.............

Steve,

You will have to install the 6.2.3 first on your 64 bits system and then
restore DB. Then , upgrade to 6.3.1. Please make sure you save a copy of
volume history file for 6.2.3.
We changed format of the volume history file with 6.3. The volume history
file in 6.3 can not be used to restore DB into 6.2 or 6.1.
