Testing DRM on a different platform

[toddz2000]

Testing DRM
My OS is CENTOS 5 64 bit
TSM 5.4 64 Bit

I plan to restore TSM to another system, but the OS is CENTSOS 5,not 64 bit, and TSM Server is 5.4, not 64 bit.

Can this be done??? Restore the database and log to another system that is not the same type.

thanks

roughly : the os looks the same ; the only question should be : are the tapes written using the same format in both cases ? I would give it a try and do the restore db.
I remember we had issues migrating from an AIX to W2K servers in the past, but those were different os ...
let me know
