Is it really as easy as just installing a new server on the new platform and 
then restoring a db?

I wasn't aware that you could restore a db across platforms.  I thought you 
would have to export/import the nodes out of the AIX server into the Linux 
server.

Shouldn't be a big deal.

However, tougher with v6 than v5.

You should be able to restore a db backup after installing the new server.

Then, define storage pools, tape drives, and libraries as necessary.

ADSM-L mailing list,

I've been tasked with the project to move our TSM server from AIX to Linux 
(prefer RedHat or CentOS).

Any pointers?

Thanks, Troy
