We have considered the idea of duplicating the DB on a second server, changing 
the name then deleting the unwanted nodes from both, but not the same nodes on 
both.  This seems simple enough, but we will not have the time to try it until 
next year.

Subject: [ADSM-L] export/import nodes

Hi,

I have a simple question.

Let's say that I'm splitting a large TSM server instances into few
smaller servers, using a shared library with library manager/client
architecture.

Now, if there are pretty big client nodes whose data is on collocated
tapes, can I move a node between servers without copying the data to
new tapes with export? Since collocated tapes have only data from one
node, it should be possible to copy just the DB entries and change the
ownership of the volumes in the library manager. Is there a way to do
it?  Or any other good ideas on how to migrate nodes between TSM
instances without using too much tape media/network bandwidth/time/
effort?
