We have move the TSM database when they were on SSA disks by connecting the SSA 
disk to the new server.

We have also moved the TSM database by backing up to a flat file, copying that 
to a new server and using:

*       dsmserv db restore db devc=ADSMDBBK vol=/var/tsmdbbk/06902830.dbb, 
/var/tsmdbbk/06903334.dbb commit=yes

We'd rather AIX...more reliable...IBM supports their hardware for
a greater amount of time, usually 10 years.
Was wondering if there was an easy way to
migrate the TSM database / data, other than EXPORT / IMPORT.

Is there anyone that has had negative experience with running
TSM on LINUX?  Also, it will be a DELL machine.

Thanks!

Vicki

Why Linux?

No, I like Linux, but everyone tell me that AIX is better solutions.
Price is not answer.

We use (for now) tsm 5.2.6.3 on windows (2003) but migrate in near
future to aix. Maybe linux is better for tsm?
