I have TSM sever 5.5.2.0.  Also have a W2K3 client with
version 5.5.0.0 BA client, doing backups only.  This has
about 2 dozen drives and therefore filespaces.  There is
many TB of data involved in total and these are all SAN disks.
(Also many TB of data that is left, so not easy to say redo that
either.)
 
For several technical reasons, they need to move about half the
SAN disks to another server and leave half on existing server.
They will just rezone those disks to the new server, no copying
involved.  I certainly don't want to backup all this "moved" data
again.  If was ALL being moved to new server, I could just
RENAME NODE and FILESPACES and be done with it, have done that
before.  But is not the case.
 
As I see it, my only option is to EXPORT NODE for the filespaces that
are being moved and then import again into new node.  I have
never used Export Node, but have almost a few times over the years.
 
Am I correct that this is my only option?  Other than backing up in new
location and deleting in old - or would that be faster and easier?  NO
idea on the speed this works.  I have 3584 library with LTO2 and 3
drives/tapes.
 
Thanks,
David Longo
