Has anyone successfully moved a TSM server from one platform to another, copying the database via BACKUP DB and RESTORE DB commands? We are looking at moving from AIX (RS-6000) to HP (N-Class) in thi
Bob, the issue of 'it won't work' doesn't preclude you from trying it! It should work since the platforms are both UNIX (handling tape read/write sim.). Otherwise you'd unloaddb to a file and then mo

Bob, Don't bother. I can tell you from experience that it won't work, and Tivoli support will tell you it isn't supported. BTW, export/import isn't supported either, although it "may" work. We are in

Is this from a Support call? The MVS,NT,AIX, and HPUX TSM Guides at least imply cross-platform import is "supported": Importing Data from Sequential Media Volumes Before you import data to a new tar

Just out of curiosity for the several people who have mentioned moving from AIX to HP/UX, what has been the driving motivation to switch platforms? We've been completely satisfied with AD/TSM on AIX

We just exported/imported a ton of stuff from W2K to AIX TSMSERVER with no problems on Magstar Tape. The issue is the drivers between platforms may not be recording the data the same way. Magstar, th

Yes, that was from Tivoli support, although if you push hard enough you could probably get some help. But this is what they told me: "You can try exporting the server from AIX and importing it on HP-

In our case, it was a combination of company policy and $$$. We have a global contract with HP through our parent. We were looking to expand our library (ATL P3000) because we had overflowed it. I lo

Thank you to those who have responded - perhaps a little clarification is needed from me as to why we are doing this. Our customer has 8 very large HP-UX boxes being backed up by a a small 3-year old

Hi Moving cross platforms shouldn't be this much problem. We've moved between NT/2000 and AIX using backup/restore procedure. I've also moved between completely different AIX machines using this proc

[Other options deleted] The more recent TSM levels provide for setting up an overflow area for an automated library. That is, they provide a way of keeping track of tapes ejected from the library an
