1) This will not work, you must do an export/import of the server. 2) The 3494 tape library only connects via Ethernet. If you are starting from scratch, I would connect the 3590 tape drives via Fibre Channel.

We are currently starting to plan a move of our ancient TSM 3.1.2.50 server to an AIX TSM 4.x server (not sure what version). I have a few questions: 1) Do I simply backup our db from TSM on VM and restore to TSM on AIX? How long will the backup restore take (our db is about 14GB and about 90 % full). 2) What is the best way to connect our 3494 robotic tape library to our RS/6000 S80 box (SCSI, ESCON, Fiber, other?) 3) Do we need to convert our existing data tapes from VM to AIX somehow? 4) Any other info that would be usefull. Thanks in advance, Peter
