Yes, we moved TSM off of a mainframe and onto a Sun/Solaris platform.  We
are very pleased with the performance.  If you have archive data then you
need to "move data" which will take a long time.  For backups, we pointed
all clients away from the mainframe and to the new Sun server, so all new
backups went through the Sun box.  But, we kept the mainframe ADSM around
long enough to cover the expiration period in case clients requested old
restores.  Then we shut down mainframe ADSM.

Hello!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their input on LTO and 9840B/9940A.  It
was very helpful!  I have another question....  Has anyone moved TSM off of
the mainframe and onto a SUN/solaris platform which will be attached to our
SAN?  If so, do you have any advice or suggestions?  Maybe documentation or
a procedure plan for this process?  I've been looking on the tivoli site
and I have not found such a plan.  Thanks!!!!
