I think the best way to do this is the library manager, client method that
was mentioned. The requirement is that you will need to be able to share
the drives between the hosts. Also, this should take the least amount of
"swing" space since you mentioned your library is almost at capacity.
- Make the linux TSM server the new library manager and the windows TSM as
the library client
It will be a variation on the process described here:

- Import/Export each node over the network and delete from the windows TSM
one at a time.

The simple answer is no.
You cant backup/restore the database(which contains all information)
between Windows and Linux. That's why you need to do the import/export,
you need to import the information stored in your TSM database to a new
empty database on the Linux machine.
Dont know what kind of library you have, but cant you partition it and
create a secondary logical library for your Linux server?
You could also setup a library manager/library client configuration so
that your new TSM server has access to the library, and then just switch
the library manager to the new TSM server as soon as you've done the
export/import step.
Best Regards

Ärende: [ADSM-L] Migrate TSM server ( Win to Linux)
We are planning to migrate our TSM server V6.2.3(Win2k3) to Linux Server
(Redhat ) ,but the major problem is the availability of a single Tape
Library which is currently used by the TSM Production server and all our
backup data is held in this tape library.
I think ,one of the ways to go about this would be server to server export
but as we are having a single tape library which is almost filled to
capacity , I was wondering if it is possible to have my New Linux TSM
server to just take control of all the tapes/media/database held by the
current Win TSM server without actually doing export/import.
Please let me know your views on this if anyone as tried this out.
Thanks!! :)
