Hi David,
If you really want or need to migrate i.e. keep your legacy data without
having to export them from your current server to your v6 server, you
have to keep your existing platform (i.e. Linux).
Official documentation says :
"Restriction: You cannot upgrade your server to run on an operating
system that is different from the operating system it currently runs on.
For example, you cannot upgrade a server running on an AIX® system to a
server running on a Linux® system."
See :
Hardware and software requirements for the upgraded server :
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/topic/com.ibm.itsm.srv.upgrd.doc/c_srv_upgrd_hwswreqs.html
See also :
Hardware and software requirements for the V5 server system that is
being upgraded :
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/topic/com.ibm.itsm.srv.upgrd.doc/r_srv_upgrd_v5srv_reqmts.html
Note that only x86_64 distributions are supported (for Intel
Architecture), RHEL 5 or SLES 10 or 11.
See :
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&uid=swg21204361
So, more inconvenients than advantages to change from Linux to Windows.
If you decide to go to Windows, Win2k8 (64bits) is advisable as it will
be supported during a longer time.

Hello from france !
We'll upgrade TSM 5 to 6.x soon, with upgrade of hardware too
Actually, we're on linux (a little ... old :) ) : Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES
release 4 (Nahant Update 5).
For the new environnement, what are the advantages and inconvenient of
installing TSM6.x under :
10) Linux (RedHat ou CentOS v5.x (5.5?)
20) Windows (Server 2003 or maybe 2008)
Some informations about connected hardware
* Baie SAN IBM DS4200 in FibreChannel
* Library Overland Neo2000 in SCSI with 2 LTO3 drive
Thx,
David
