Hello all!

I am just trying to get a better idea of how export/import data between 2
tsm os/390 servers works.  I know that in order to do this I will have to
create server to server communication.  I will then export the data for
certain nodes onto virtual memory.  What virtual memory is used?  How does
tsm know where to put this information?  When tsm exports data, does it
just make a copy of the information from the originator and then import the
copy onto the new server(location) or does it delete the information off of
the originating server?

Also, do I have to have the exact same management classes defined on the
server that will import the data or can I reassign a new management class
name to the files and directories?  If I don't have the same management
class defined will it get the default management class for that policy
domain?  Do I have to have the same policy domain and policy set as well?
I want it changed when I move them from test to production, but I wasn't
exactly sure how this would work...

Thanks for any input you might have on this topic!
