Moving our TSM Server off MVS/ZOS to Win2003







We recently received the okay to move our current TSM Server off the
MVS/ZOS mainframe to a Windows server.  Along with this, we will be
getting an IBM 3584 Library with (6)TS1120 Jaguar tape drives ...this will
be exclusive to TSM and may be located at an offsite location (still
waiting for decision from above).  And I'll have 800 GB's of disk from an
IBM DS6800.  I'll have to export/move the current date from a 3594 Magstar
ATL and some older archived data on a VTL to the Jaguar.   That will
consist of moving date from 3590e carts with around 20 GB's of data to
cartridges with a capacity of 300 GB's.

Having always been a "mainframer" :~)... I am wondering if anyone else
here has gone through this transition and wouldn't mind passing on some
useful tips.  I have been browsing on the Internet for a redbook or white
paper... even a checklist of considerations, but haven't found much as
yet.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated...and feel free to email me
directly.

Thank you...  Shannon
