hi

Yes you can but you have to define new drive in the devcnfg.out file
according to the new tape drive specifications if both the tape drives are
compatible. while restoring the database TSM will check for devcnfg.out file
and connects to the tape drive for restoring.

thanks,
crc

Hi,

TSM 4.1.4 on AIX 4.3.3

Can anyone verify this for me:
If I create a db backup tape in a multi-tapes DLT library from one system,
can I
eject this tape and try to restore the database into another system which
has
only a single DLT drive attached to it?
I was told that I could only do the restore using the same multi-tape DLT
library. I am not sure if this is true because I have never gone through
this step.

Thank you.
