Hello,
We recently lost a TSM server because of a severe server hardware problem that 
makes the tape library completely inaccessible to the server. We are now 
building a new TSM server and connecting the library to it. However the new TSM 
server we are building is on a different OS (Red Hat linux) while the original 
server was on Solaris 10. The different OS's between the 2 servers makes it 
impossible to restore the existing TSM database although we have it. And the 
old server's inability to use the tape library is also stopping us from using 
the "Export Node" functionality for data we want to save.
We are mainly concerned about 120 GB of archived data that we want to retrieve 
from this tape library with TSM before migrating to the new TSM server.
Does anyone know of a way to read TSM data of LTO4 tapes without the catalog so 
we can save this data? Or does IBM provide such a service ?
