Exporting your volume group is the easiest way to move any storage that is on the ESS.
The only thing to watch out for as far as the TSM server is concerned, is to make sure that you TSM server database and log files are not in rootvg. -----Original Message----- From: Guillaume Gilbert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 10:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: restore db to new host (LPAR) and ESS dsmfmt'd stg volumes? Hi Lisa You could do this : exportvg unconfigure vpaths on old system configure vpaths on new system importvg All your files should be there. You could even do this with the TSM database and it should work.

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone has any experience moving TSM from one AIX host to another, both of which are attached to an ESS. My basic question is whether it is possible to move the vpaths from the one host and to the other & be able to retain the dsmfmt'd storage pool volumes in the reassignment, or if I will have to redefine all the vpaths and then redsmfmt all the stg pool volumes? I also wonder if it would be possible to use Sysback to accomplish this, if it isn't possible through the conventional AIX ways. I have been trying to research this online, but really can't find anything about it. TIA lisa
