Hello everyone!

I am in the process of moving several servers from a production tsm server
to a test tsm server.  They are both on os/390 2.10 and are at the 5.1.6.2
level.  Several of the dozen servers will have archived data on the test
server that I would like to move to the production server.  I have been
researching export/import of node data and I am not quite sure if this is
the method that would work....  What I want to do is register the servers
on the production tsm and let them do backups/archives to this server and
let all of the other backup information expire after their 95 day retention
period on the test server.  Then I still have some archive data that needs
to be moved.  If I want to do this, how would it be possible if the node
already exists on the server I am trying to move the data to?  Also, how do
I then have the files use different management classes?  And our tapes are
regulated by TMS and they are labeled according to what system they were
created on, so I'm not quite sure how I would be able to import the data
from test to production when they are in seperate silo's.  They are the
same media type (Magstar 3590's) in an STK 9310 Powderhorn silo.

I was just wondering how others have done this successfully?

Thanks in advance!
