Just a strange thought.
If you have all the data for the various nodes segregated into two
separate tape pools on the origional server, do a DR recovery on the
NEW server, but don't import any of the tapes of the pool you don't want
to recover.

On the original server, first mark the clients as 'not available', then
once you are happy delete the clients that you moved to the second server.

This should keep all your old information.

Like I said kind of Odd.

Subject: Migrating nodes between TSM servers


Guys (and gals),

Is there a way to migrate node information (backup data, backupsets etc)
between TSM servers? I have two identically configured TSM servers (4.2.3.0
on AIX) on the same network backing up around 1000 servers between them. As
some of my nodes are holding more data than others, I have an uneven load
on each TSM server and want to "migrate" nodes from one to the other.
Registering the node on the other TSM server and pointing the node from one
to the other is easy enough to do, but I won't retain backup history or
backupset information.

Any assistance would be helpful.
