Hi *SMers,

we have to migrate our TSM -Server (4.2.1) from AIX / RS6000 to Win2000 / 
Netfinity Intel.
has anyone expirience with this?

Our environment:
TSM 4.2.1 / AIX         currently running backup for two clients within 
seperate 
storage pools
TSM 4.2.1 / WIN2000     
3494-Library with 3 x 3590 Tapes
1x 3590 Tape Stacker IBM with 10 Slots


Would we have do this with "Export [Server| Node]" and after that 
"Import [Server | Node]" ? And which one is the better Method ?

How could we resolve the problem, that we have to do backup of the Clients 
during Export / Import? 

The export /import will need about 14 days In this time we have to backup 
about 100 GB. It is enough to define a disk storage pool for the clients and 
let them write their backups in this pool for 14 days while the ex/import 
works only with tapes. And after finished import migrate the data from disk 
to tape ?

Any ideas, comments or other suggestions ?

Thanks in advance for your help!
