Hello gang,

I am looking for some words of wisdom.  We are currently starting to
plan a move of our ancient TSM 3.1.2.50 server to an AIX TSM 4.x server
(not sure what version).

I have a few questions:

1) Do I simply backup our db from TSM on VM and restore to TSM on AIX?
How long will the backup restore take (our db is about 14GB and   about
90 % full).
2) What is the best way to connect our 3494 robotic tape library to our
RS/6000 S80 box (SCSI, ESCON, Fiber, other?)
3) Do we need to convert our existing data tapes from VM to AIX somehow?
4) Any other info that would be usefull.

Thanks in advance, Peter
