Shawn,
>From my understanding, you are going to have to set up a new TSM server,
and migrate the clients over to it.  You can use the export commands to
export policies and client data from one TSM server to another directly
across the LAN.  That will make it somewhat less painful, but depending
on how many clients you have, this could take a few weeks.  You will
have to have enough storage capacity on the new system to absorb all
this data.  If you only have one tape library, you will have to set up
library sharing, and have enough tapes to have two copies of some
clients' data as you migrate clients over.  If you want more detailed
instructions, please ask. Many of us have been through such migrations
before.

According to the help on EXPORT NODE, you can't use it on nodes of type
NAS.  You will have to move the NAS clients over to the new TSM server,
and wait for the old backups to expire before you retire the old backup
server.

You will be moving from x86/64 architecture to Power. They are binary
incompatible. You cannot upload DB from x86 to Power (this is what
backup/restore essentially doees). Your only option is to export DB.

Don't know about the NDMP.
