I have found several different papers but one that I have referred to was 
written by Allen S. Rout, 50 ways.  He lists several different ways to migrate 
to a new server and this is one of them.  I haven't read anything about 
splitting the Configuration Manager.  As for the MCs, since I am restoring the 
database and not changing the management classes, I don't believe that they 
will need to rebind but if I am wrong, someone please let me know.

Is there a paper on this method?
How would you split a server that is the Configuration Manager?  How
would TSM handle the "change" to the MCs?  Would there we issues with
retention or rebinding of objects.

You will have to decide which one of the instances will keep the
original copypool. For the other instance(s), blow away the offsite
copypool and generate a new one with BACKUP STGPOOL <Primary Pools> <New
Copypool Name>.  

I would suggest assigning the current copypool to the instance which
owns the largest dataset (ie. Mail TDP).

Hi All,

We are going to be moving our current TSM DB to a new server and
breaking it up into separate instances so that the databases will be
smaller. Our plan is to restore the DB as in a DR and then remove the
nodes and policy domains that will be on the 2nd instance, in essence
separating the DB.   Currently my tapes are collocated by node in the
tapepool (library) but the copypool (offsite) is not.  I know that for
the library I need to change ownership of the tapes to the new server(s)
but am not sure what happens with the copypool tapes.  I don't believe
that the different servers can track files on the same tape.  I have
read papers on using this method but have not found a reference on how
to handle the offsite tapes.  Can someone please point me in the right
direction?  Thanks.
