Hello experts,
   
  I have a 3494 library attached to a TSM server 5.2.2 (AIX 5.3). I am in the 
process of setting up a new TSM server running TSM 5.4 and attach it to the 
same library. I will need to copy the old 200GB database to the new server and 
eventually unplug the old server.
  I am going to list some of my concerns here.
   
  1- my library is set up as "not shared" (I checked q opt)
      Will I be able to share the library with the new tsm server...(all my 
drives, 14 of them, and my current TSM server are connected to a fiber switch 
and zoned).
   
  2- if I can share the library, my plan is to backup the TSM DB, volhist, 
dsmsrv.dsk, devconfig, dsmserv.opt, shutdown the old TSM server and copy those 
to the new TSM server. Is that doable?
   
  3-  Will the new TSM server (5.4) be able to back up my old TSM clients( 4.2 
and 5.1) AIX 4.3 , HPUX, windows NT 4.0...(don't ask why but we can't upgrade 
those OSes and clients)
   
  4- Can I copy my old licence files to the new server and re-license?
       If that is not possible, how do I get license files? (oracle, exchange, 
SQL)
   
  5- What is the largest supported DB size for TSM 5.4?
   
   
  Your help is greatly appreciated.
   
  TIA,
   
   
  Best regards,
  Daad
