We too have been thinking of separating our UNIX from our NT and
Novell clients.  They are all on one server (OS/390 V3 R1), but are
being managed by two groups of people.  With my group being one of the
groups who control ADSM, we have had many conflicts of interest.  One
idea, that would benefit our stuff (NT and Novell V3 R1), would cause
problems for the UNIX people.

        I guess the question I am asking, is how would we accomplish
setting up a new (and separate) dsmserv process??  How would we move our
data over to the new process??  Any help would be much appreciated!!
