The current status of everything is kept in the database and some config files: /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt \ /home/root/tsmfiles/devconfig.info \ /home/root/tsmfiles/volhistory.info"
So if the data is all on cartridge when you migrate and you create disk based storage pools and db vols on the target side that match the source, and move those config fies to equivalent places, you should be able to backup the db on one side, restore on the other. Have to move the tape library over. And I'm talking TSM on AIX. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/16/07 3:35 PM >>> I am looking at different options to migrate data from our current server, version 5.3.3 to a second TSM server, 5.3.5. Actually the new server will have 2 instances of TSM running and I will need to divide the clients between the 2, the old one will be retired. I have several different paths that I can follow and am trying to get a little more detailed information so I know we can decide on which method to use. If I want to migrate server-to-server does the data go into the disk storage pool for the node first and then copy off to tape? I am using the same library and tapes for the new server that the current server uses, will the new server keep the tapes I already have for the node or will it write new ones? I know there is a lot more to this, I'm just trying to find out how some of the processes work.
