There is a TSM for Sysback offering which allows you to store sysback
backups on TSM and use network boot or NIM to boot and restore the
sysback backup.

We are considering migrating our TSM system to an AIX system with 3590
tape drives in a 3494 tape library. The drives would be connected
using
FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol). The host would be a pSeries system. We
are
currently leaning toward a p650.

Given this configuration, would it be possible to restore AIX using
3590 mksysb tapes? If so, would it done by booting from tape or by
booting from CD and telling the software to read a mksysb tape? How
would we deal with the library? In particular, would we have to use
the stand-alone tape feature of the library?
