Hi.

We have no SAN and no ESS.
The storagepools, database and logs are in a simple SSA-loop.

Since you plan to use portability of vg along with SAN. Here is my 2
cents that may help you better. I don't know if you have SSA drives in
SAN or directly connected to host, but it would work anyway you plan.
AIX5.2ML2 should allow you to make mksysb with any driver necessary to
clone your box in any 'chrp' box. So, if you have only 2 copies of
mirred rootvg, you can make a 3rd one from ESS and change the bootlist
and boot off of it. Then, shutdown the box, move 3rd rootvg copy on ESS
to your new box. Let it see or go to SMS to change mutliboot... Viola!
Just an idea. Make sure with your network core switches set with the
same VLAN or subnet. I don't know if you have HA set on these hosts, but
one more thing that you can try with SAN...

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Yes I want to migrate all data from disk to our
library and start a DB-Backup.

So I want test it.....

Best regards,

That should work, I moved 2 TSM-servers using this method (one with
SSA-disks and one with ESS-luns).
To be on the safe side, I first migrated all data from disk to tape and
made a DB-backup

Subject: change TSM server to a new AIX box. What is the way? [Virus

Hi,

our TSM Server (Version 5.1.8) is a SP wide node (AIX 5.2_ML02). Now I
want
change the server to a new pSeries standalone p615.
Our TSM-diskstoragepool, the database and the logs are on SSA-Disks.

So I think that I must install the new node with the same AIX level and
TSM
level (mksysb is not so easy, because it is a SP-node).
After this I stop the old TSM server. Connect the ssa disks on the new
node, import the volumegroups, change the ip configuration on the new
node
(so that it is the same as on the old server), connect the library,
mount
filesystems, check that device conf, volhis, database and logs are in
right
path and than I can start the TSM-Server.

Is this the way?

Best regards,
  Frank
