Given that TSM is licensed by processor now and not node (the internal licensing does
not seem to have cought up with the new model) you should be able to have as many node
definitions as you want. Retired nodes have 0 processors and therefore require 0
licenses. The TSM 'managed system for LAN' license field should be updated to
'managed system for LAN CPU' to be in line with the actual license model. This is my
take on the issue anyway.
If the above holds true, I would not worry about moving any of the old node data.
Just leave it as it is.

Subject: tsm and old nodes
i have a number of tsm clients that no longer exist physically, either the
server was replaced
and node name is different on new server or the server was merged with another
server
i want to keep the data but i have noticed that these clients still occupy a
license.
i have in a few cases, exported the node, deleted the file space, deleted the
node
and marked the tape in the event i ever have to get data of it via the inport
function
is this the best way to handle this kind of situation how do others handle this
i tried once to reallocate the old filespace so that the new server had
references
to the old filespace and the current filespace. that process is too cumbersome
i have some more nodes that dont exist any more and i was going to
export them like i did the others
