One thing that is supported if your servers are 6.3:
You can set up node replication from one server to another, and the 2 servers
don't have to be the same platform.
Then kill off the old server.
But for V5, export/import is the only supported way.
And depending on your network, your available hardware, number of clients, your
avg data retention time, export/import maybe faster anyway.
Your biggest problem will be that either with export/import or replication, you
need double the media, as all the data has to move to the format supported by
the target server.

>From the 6.4 manuals:
Restriction: In most cases, you cannot upgrade your server to run on an
operating system that is different from the operating system that it currently
runs on. For example, you cannot upgrade a server that is running on an AIX(r)
system to a server on a Linux system. The only exception is a cross-platform
upgrade from a V5 server that is running on z/OS(r) to a V6.3 or later server
on AIX or Linux on System z(r). For more information about the cross-platform
upgrade, see Migrating Tivoli Storage Manager V5 servers on z/OS systems to V6
on AIX or Linux on System z.
So although it might work, it's not supported!

Haven't tried it with v6, but that's how I moved a server from solaris to suse
linux. The linux was running as a guest under VM on our mainframe.

Is it really as easy as just installing a new server on the new platform and
then restoring a db?
I wasn't aware that you could restore a db across platforms. I thought you
would have to export/import the nodes out of the AIX server into the Linux
server.

Shouldn't be a big deal.
However, tougher with v6 than v5.
You should be able to restore a db backup after installing the new server.
Then, define storage pools, tape drives, and libraries as necessary.

ADSM-L mailing list,
I've been tasked with the project to move our TSM server from AIX to Linux
(prefer RedHat or CentOS).
Any pointers?
Thanks, Troy
