Check out Server to Server Virtual Volumes to do this (Admin Guide). Basically, your AIX TSM server becomes a client to your z/OS server. The AIX server's TSM data is archived (more or less) on the other server. Fairly easy to setup, but makes for a rather difficult disaster recovery, so be careful.

I sure hope someone out there has an idea of how to do this.... I have one TSM running on AIX 4.3. The problem is that the server has no tapes being sent offsite for Disaster Recovery. What I'd like to do is create copy pools the send the data to z/OS base TSM servers, backing up to tapes that are sent offsite. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
