Hi,

We are getting ready to move our TSM server from an AIX machine running TSM
4.1.3 to an AIX machine running TSM 5.1.5 (or 5.1.6??).  We will also be
moving our 3583 tape unit.

I have set up the new server and begun to play with it.  I haven't decided
the best way to move the database.  I don't really want to export/import
because I can move the data(tapes) directly to the new server.  Can I run a
backupdb/restoredb from TSM 4.1.3 to TSM 5.1.6?  Would this be the way to
go?  Then I could move the tape library over and ?? checkin ?? the library
volumes etc.  (This is where I am not clear how to proceed).

Any suggestions/gotchas/help!  ?

Thanks,
