Hi Gibs,
When you move from old HW to new HW so can you change

* Hostname
* IP
* Database struckture
* Paths for Active Log, Archive Logs and Fail-Over Archive Logs.
* Size

Pretty much everything.
But when TSM starts it will search for your Storage Pools and fail, but that is 
the same when you restored any older version of ADSM and TSM.

But remember to disable GUID. When I moved I didn't need to disable IP check 
that Bill needed.

Good Luck.


Best Regards

Ämne: Restore TSM server to Win 2008

I want to keep my current TSM server   AA setup  ( TSM v6.2.1 , win2003 ) and 
create a new TSM server BB setup wih diff hardware ( TSM v6.2.1 ,Win2008) using 
my existing  TSM server AA  DB backup ..


Had some queries as to :

* In the new TSM server BB i am building  ,should i keep any similar settings  
like the old TSM server  like hostname ,IP addr , no of storage pool vols , 
activ /archiv log size ..?? anything at all ?


I am planning to perform these steps :

* install OS Win 2008 R2 ( new hostname & ip addr)
*install TSM  v6.2.1
*create new TSM server instance ,DB ,Activ /Archiv log
* define library &  driv paths  and checkin needed tapes   ( so as to recreate 
devconfig.dat with new hostname ,library & drive paths )
*replace volhist.dat from the old TSm server AA
* dsmserv restore db
* disable TSM GUID check
* perform TSM DB backup


Am i missing any steps?  Has anyone worked on a similar scenario like this .
