My goal is to relocate all backup data  for a node currently on a TSM 5.5.2 
server to a TSM 6.2.4 server.

There are no archive or space managed data in the system.

First time I've had to try this, so looking to the experts for comment.

Looks like a fairly simple process:
Define the node on the target server with appropriate schedules, policy, etc.
Have the node manager modify the DSM.OPT file to specify the new server.
Let scheduled backups run.

On source TSM: EXPORT NODE <nodename>  FILEDATA=BACKUP DEVCLASS=<classname>

On target TSM: IMPORT NODE <nodename> FILEDATA=BACKUP DEVCLASS=<classname> 
DATES=ABSOLUTE MERGEFILESPACES=YES VOL=<volnames>

An important parameter MERGEFILESPACES=YES to bring in the old data into the 
identical filespaces.
