The decission was to move away from AIX, because we have no sysadmin
knowledge with AIX and the machine grew more and more unmanaged.

The problem that I see now is, that we have only one library. We want to
reuse the library that is now running with the AIX machine on the Linux
machine. I don't have an old and a new library to copy the data between
the old and new server. And I suppose that connecting the library as a
shared library virtually two both servers and then copiing the data will
not help, since that library is still physically only connected to one
server and this server will write and read in its own format, correct?

Some deadlock here .. ;-(
