I can write to tape, but since this concerns tsm on the mainframe and the
stk silos are run with tms, I don't think that I can remove one tape from
the test silo arena and have it read in the production tms. The production
tms won't recognize the tape volser and I don't think this will work...
Also, is the data deleted from the original tsm server or is it just a
copy? I don't want to lose important data while trying to do this.
Thanks!

If you're just trying to move some client data from one TSM server to
another, you also have the alternative of just using a tape!
Run EXPORT on the first TSM server, write the data to a tape.
Run IMPORT on the second TSM server, specify the volser of that tape.
That's all there is to it!
It's much faster than using server-to-server communication, because with
server-to-server, you have to transmit the data via TCP-IP.
The only reason you MUST use server-to-server for export/import, is if you
have no compatible media that both servers can read/write.

Subject: export/import
Hello all!
I am just trying to get a better idea of how export/import data between 2
tsm os/390 servers works. I know that in order to do this I will have to
create server to server communication. I will then export the data for
certain nodes onto virtual memory. What virtual memory is used? How does
tsm know where to put this information? When tsm exports data, does it
just make a copy of the information from the originator and then import the
copy onto the new server(location) or does it delete the information off of
the originating server?
Also, do I have to have the exact same management classes defined on the
server that will import the data or can I reassign a new management class
name to the files and directories? If I don't have the same management
class defined will it get the default management class for that policy
domain? Do I have to have the same policy domain and policy set as well?
I want it changed when I move them from test to production, but I wasn't
exactly sure how this would work...
Thanks for any input you might have on this topic!
