[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote The idea of moving off of OS/390 is because we are taking too much CPU and weekly IPLs. Why weekly ipls? One of the big advantages of mainframe technology is that ipls are (should be) infrequent If your TSM is in a sharing lpar the TSM dispatching priority can be set so

Hi all One best difference of TSM running on OS/390 or Z/OS is that his cpu hungry. Use WLM giving a fraction number of SRU service units and all will be good. Claudio Almeida Favor responder a ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado Por: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL

Migration of TSM server from OS390 or Z-OS to a UNIX or Windows platform

I know I have seen other messages about this before, so I hope I can find some info. We are looking into migrating our TSM servers off of Z-OS and I would like to know if any one else has done this and if they have useful tips and maybe even a high level document of the process? Thanks!

Hi Ryan, I am at the tail end of a conversion from OS/390 to solaris. I don't have a document to share with you. One nice thing that helped a lot is to do an export server filed=none to a disk file on OS/390, FTP it using bin to the UNIX box. On the UNIX box define a devicetype to see the

Were your libraries and tape drives managed by CA1 on the mainframe, if so, could the same volumes be recognized by the new media manager on UNIX. My fear is having to convert or move 270 TB of data already on tape. Or did you not move any data from the OS/390 side and just start with fresh

We didn't move any backups, we did fresh backups but I will move archives using the server to server export feature in 5.??. The old server had just 20T of data. Our tapes, 9840's, were not managed by ca1 or any other tape mgmt software. I defined tapes explicitly to tsm. We are a small

Bill, Thanks for the info. It looks like we may have an interesting time ahead for us. If ex/import is the only way to go I'm not sure if even the incremental ex/import feature, if IBM ever comes out with it, will help us. Leaving the data behind is not feasible, we need to have 24 hour

Ryan, IBM does have incremental server to server export at the 5202 server level. It came in below that but I am not sure where. Of course you can only use it after you have exported the current 270T, which is a long time from now. Just because you do backups to a new server, you don't have

We are still at 5.1.6.1, next upgrade scheduled for 2Q04, so I guess I will have it then. I could use it to accomplish this migration, but I think it would be lengthy process, considering I can probably move around 1 - 2 TB daily. The idea of moving off of OS/390 is because we are taking too
