You can't move the database.  You will have to export from your existing
server and import to the new one.

The best way to do that is to export to tape, move that tape to the new
server and import.  If you have the luxury, you can cable both systems to
the library and do that.  Most sites can't, so do your exports, move the
library to the new system, define it, etc. and import data from the tapes.

Alternatively, simply install TSM on the new platform, configure it and move
your clients to that platform by changing option files.  This will force a
full backup of all your systems.  Then let all the data on your two OS/400
platforms simply expire.  If you have reasonable retention policies this
should only take a couple of months.  To speed it along, you can export
archive data and import it on the new server.

Export/import can be time consuming, especially if you have tapes outside
the library so minimize the amount of that that you do.

I answered this same question very recently.  You might check the archives.
I was perhaps more lucid earlier in the day.  Before the scotch, you know...
