Yes.

That's the crux of the problem. Because moving a TSM database from one
OS to another, while it may work when you're staying within the UNIX
world, is not supported. If it's not supported, there are probably good
reasons for it.

If you were moving from one Solaris box to another, it wouldn't be an
issue.
