Is it possible to move from MVS to AIX without having to export all client
node data so long are your storage device is the same on both environments?

i.e. if my current environment has 2000 tapes full of client data, and I
want to move my environment from MVS to AIX, do I essentially have to export
2000 tapes, create 2000 new tapes, and import those 2000 new tapes to my AIX
environment to read the client data (thus creating another 2000 tapes)? Or
would the present 2000 tapes be readable from the AIX environment as long as
I export the server without the filedata and import it into the AIX
environment (and have the same type of device connected to the AIX server of
course)? In other words I'm trying to gauge how much work it is to move TSM
from one platform to another..

If I remember correctly it's ugly and you do have to export all the client
data as well..
