..... connect the library, mount
filesystems, check that device conf, volhis, database and logs are in
right
path and than I can start the TSM-Server.

You will also need the dsmserv.dsk and dsmserv.opt files moved from your
old server to new.
Dsmserv.dsk contains the list of files that make up the DB and logs; TSM
needs that to come up.

That should work, I moved 2 TSM-servers using this method (one with
SSA-disks and one with ESS-luns).
To be on the safe side, I first migrated all data from disk to tape and
made a DB-backup

Subject: change TSM server to a new AIX box. What is the way? [Virus
checked]


Hi,

our TSM Server (Version 5.1.8) is a SP wide node (AIX 5.2_ML02). Now I
want
change the server to a new pSeries standalone p615.
Our TSM-diskstoragepool, the database and the logs are on SSA-Disks.

So I think that I must install the new node with the same AIX level and
TSM
level (mksysb is not so easy, because it is a SP-node).
After this I stop the old TSM server. Connect the ssa disks on the new
node, import the volumegroups, change the ip configuration on the new
node
(so that it is the same as on the old server), connect the library,
mount
filesystems, check that device conf, volhis, database and logs are in
right
path and than I can start the TSM-Server.

Is this the way?

Best regards,
Frank
