A further comment on this subject: I will be transplanting a moderately sized TSM server from an H50 to a 7026-6H1. I have just completed a trial run, to determine how long the process is going to take. I used the latest full dbbackup from the H50, and did a dbrstore on the new hardware. And, just for fun, I ran an audit db on the transplant.
Both the old and new hardware use raid-5 ssa for the database, the new hardware has 4 processors (600 MHZ) with 8 GB memory. For your planning purposes, here's the stats from this environment: dbsize 73,656 MB @ 84% dbbackup 03:32 dbrestore 04:03 auditdb 47:28 Both dbbackup and restore were done from a 3590 "K". And, thankfully, the audit ran cleanly. Darrel Gleddie IBM Almaden Research Center
