There are specific-path references, and file-system-dependent things in the
TSM data base - which makes each server you install PLATFORM-SPECIFIC.
So... the short answer is "no".

Hi ,

Can I also create this 'flatfile' on a AIX system ( server-a ) 
 and restore the server on a Solaris system ( server-b ) ?

I would like to use this solaris-adsm/tsm- server only for a quick restore 
of data previously backed up on server-a which uses copy-Storagepools 
via server-server on a third system- (server-c)  and I don't want to use 
this solaris system for backup, because it only has disks and no library 
... someone using such a configuration -or is this quite anomalous ?

( Szenario : server-a and Clients from this server-a 
        (with 'client-data-copys-send-to-server-c' ) 
are completely destroyed - then trying to restore latest 
active backups for the Clients as fast as possible on server-b using
just the copy from server-c )  


Thanks in advance  for any hints !
