Hi
The easiest way would probably to setup your new library and server on the
remote site, configure the TSM instance and then export the information from
the old server to the new server over a server-to-server connection.
This is described in the TSM server manual, chapter 22: Exporting and importing
data.
The way you describe is possible aswell, even though I would change it slightly:
1. Connect your new library to the old server
2. Migrate the information from the old library to the new library (copying the
data will only create a copygroup in your new library)
3. Make a databasebackup from your old server to the new library
4. Transport the new library to the new location and connect it to your new
server
5. Restore the databasebackup which you took to the new server.
The last scenario will however have more impact on your existing production
environment.
A database backup / restore scenario (or copying of volumes as you described
it) is only a valid scenario if you're changing to a server with the same
operating system (Windows > Windows, Linux > Linux). In all other cases, only a
export / import scenario will be a valid choice.

Ämne: Change library and server
Is there a paper somewhere that could tell me the best way to move from one
server and library to a new server and library?
Current configuration:
Windows 2003 x32
TSM 5.5.1.1
Library IBM 3584 with 3592 drives
New configuration:
Windows 2008 x64
Library IBM 3584 with LTO4 drives
We are changing location and want to move it all over the WAN. The speed of the
WAN wont be an issue at all.
This is what I´m thinking how to do it.
Connect the new library to the old server (FC) and backup all the data to the
new library. Install the new server and when all the data is in the new library
copy dbvol, logvol and storagepool volumes to the new server. Then connect the
new library to the new W2K8 server and correct all the devices to match the new
server. Right?
