Not doubting the power of the Holiday Inn Express, but in the past I had a Windows LAN-free client whose tapes were reclaimed by an AIX TSM server, which would leave me to conclude that AIX somehow managed to read the tapes, even though they were written with a crayon. Also AIX did make some off-site copies of these LAN-free tapes.

Tapes are written in different formats on different platforms, so the answer to your question is "no". You would have to export all of the data from Windows and import to AIX, not just the database. No, I'm not from development, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night! ..Paul At 05:41 PM 3/11/2009, Joerg Pohlmann wrote: >Could someone from development please comment - since the database for TSM >6.1 is DB2, can I move from a TSM server on for example, Windows to a TSM >server on for example, AIX by restoring the database and then updating any >tape device names in the path definitions? > >Joerg Pohlmann >250-245-9863 -- Paul Zarnowski Ph: 607-255-4757 Manager, Storage Services Fx: 607-255-8521 719 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-3801 Em: p...@cornell.edu This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
