Hello, We are looking to progressively migrate clients from one of our TSM server running TSM 4.1.5 (3494 attached) to another TSM server running TSM 4.2.1 (LTO attached). Some of the data on the TSM 4.1.5 has no limit retention.
As we progressively migrate the clients to the new TSM 4.2.1server, we will let expiration take care of cleaning up the old data on the TSM 4.1 server but we will have to recuperate the no limit data by some way!! Both servers will have to work in parallel just in case we have to restore data from either server. Did anyone ever successfully use export node / import node to do this this type of migration? I was either thinking of using server to server devclass or define the LTO to the library manager so that it is seen by the old TSM 4.1 server to perform the export / import? Any comments would be welcomed? If you were successful or not in this type of operation I would like to hear about it!!!! many thanks, Jason Livie
