I believe you have to export the client data as well.
IF not, you are assuming that data written by MVS "drivers" (yes, I know we
don't call them drivers in MVS, but still...) is in a format that can be
read by AIX drivers.
The whole point of EXPORT is to create a portable format that can move
across platforms.
If you can read the data on MVS-created tapes with AIX drivers, it may work,
but it's probably an unsupported accident.

Subject: Exporting a TSM Server Across Platforms
If I have a TSM server on an MVS environment backing up Lotus Notes servers
running AIX, and I'd like to migrate my TSM server environment to an AIX
platform, if I recall the steps are fairly straight forward and this is not
a difficult task. Put simply it's:
1. Do an export of the TSM Server on the MVS environment to tape.
2. Move the library to the new AIX server
3. Do an import of the previously made export on the new AIX server
4. voila.. done.. all Notes/AIX restores/tapes are now restorable.
Specifically I don't believe it's necessary to export all the client data
but you only need to export the TSM server itself right? In other words you
cannot restore a TSM DB tape created from the MVS environment to an AIX
environment. You actually have to export the server to move between
environments in this manner. And you don't need to do it for all the client
data, though I suppose you could.. Is that correct?
