I'm looking to migrate from TSM 5.4 on AIX to TSM 6.3 on Windows.
From a couple of other forum posts I understand that the generally accepted/recommended approach would be to export server to server. (Storage space will likely not be an issue, though volume of data might.)
Question 1: Would the TSM source server need to be at the same version as the target server? i.e. would I need to upgrade TSM on AIX to 6.3 before running the server to server export?
I am also investigating an alternate approach: If the volume of data is such that time constraints prevent server to server export from being feasible then attempt a database level export, import without actually moving any data.
So, Upgrade TSM on AIX to 6.3, followed by db2move/db2look on the TSM DB2 database.
Question 2: Has anyone tried this before? I am in the process of simulating this with test data on TSM5.4 on a Linux VM with a move to TSM6.3 on a Windows VM. I plan to share my experience (successful or not) but hope that someone may have already attempted this.
