I am looking at different options to migrate data from our current server, 
version 5.3.3 to a second TSM server, 5.3.5.  Actually the new server will have 
2 instances of TSM running and I will need to divide the clients between the 2, 
the old one will be retired.  I have several different paths that I can follow 
and am trying to get a little more detailed information so I know we can decide 
on which method to use.  

If I want to migrate server-to-server does the data go into the disk storage 
pool for the node first and then copy off to tape?
I am using the same library and tapes for the new server that the current 
server uses, will the new server keep the tapes I already have for the node or 
will it write new ones? 

I know there is a lot more to this, I'm just trying to find out how some of the 
processes work.
