I haven't done it myself, and I've seen others report there are
platform-specific data stored in the TSM db, which means you'd need to do
the equivalent of export/import from AIX to Solaris (UNLOAD/LOAD maybe?), to
overcome those dependencies. If it were me, I'd try doing a "restore" of
the AIX db to the Solaris file system... to determine for sure. Also, the
device class, library, drive id's are different between the two systems -
although, if you use the same names you might be able to trick the system
into working.

Subject: moving a server
I realize the topic has been discussed in the past but I'll ask again in
case someone has had more recent experience...
I would like to upgrade from ADSM 3.1 to TSM 3.7 AND change servers from
RS/6000 to Sun at the same time.
I don't plan to make any changes to the 3494/3590 devices but the disk
storage pools will, obviously, change.
Has anybody done anything quite like this?
Can you give me some pointers or pitfalls that I can avoid?
Is it going to require a server export/import or can I just use the database
backup tape?
Any suggestions, checklists, notes, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
