Not directly. The filesystem structures of Windows and Linux do not
allow you to move the database volumes, or restore a db backup from one
OS to another.

If you're getting a new tape library, the best answer is to put the new
server online and perform all new operations with the new server. After
a few months of expiration, you can then export your remaining node
information from the old server to the new server.

If you're not getting a new tape library, this will be a headache. You
really should hire yourself a TSM engineer; what you're proposing will
not be easy.
