I have done export/import of client data from AIX TSM to Windows TSM with no problem. I've also done export/import from AIX TSM to AIX TSM and had it FAIL because the target server was downlevel.
I suspect it depends on how many changes have occurred to the DB structure between the two versions, but I don't know for sure. I also think Tivoli doesn't test export/import between all the possible combinations/permutations of server platforms & versions. So you can give it a shot, but if I were you I would either TEST THE RESULTS very thoroughly, or plan on upgrading the target server to the same level before you start. -----Original Message----- From: Jolliff, Dale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 3:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Well, I have successfully exported nodes to tape and disk from an MVS server and imported to a Solaris server, and the other way around - but it's always been to very close version/fix numbers on the servers. Get too far apart, (going backwards at least) and the import complains about downlevel servers. Your mileage may vary. Wildly. -----Original Message----- From: Schaub Joachim Paul ABX-SECE-ZH [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 2:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: it is not supported to export aything from Z/OS (MVS) to AIX (EBCDIC to ASCII) ! -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Linda Holsclaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 29. Januar 2003 20:47 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: We are using TSM version 4.2 on an AIX server. We need to move TSM user's that are on a MVS server running TSM version 5.1 to our AIX server. Has any one had any experience exporting node and sever data from a newer TSM server version to an older one? Also in the exporting has anyone encountered any problems moving TSM across different OS's. Any responses are appreciated.
