Nora,
If you are able to bring up the old
TSM server, you could do a export node directly to the new TSM server,
provided that the two can communicate via TCP/IP with each other. I
believe that TSM 7.1 allows you to restore UNIX operating systems TSM database
backups into the new server, though to be honest, I am not sure the solaris
is included.

[ADSM-L] Recover
Archived Data from Tapes without Catalog

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 ?
