We are planning to migrate our TSM server V6.2.3(Win2k3) to Linux Server 
(Redhat ) ,but the major problem is  the availability of  a single Tape Library 
which is currently  used by the TSM Production server and all our backup data 
is  held in this tape library.


I think ,one of the ways to go about this would be server to server export but 
as we are having a single tape library which is almost filled to capacity , I 
was wondering if it is possible to have  my New Linux TSM server to  just take 
control of all the tapes/media/database held by the current Win TSM server 
without actually doing export/import.


Please let me know your views on this if anyone as tried this out.

Thanks!! :)
