a customer of mine wants to move a HSM-managed filespace from node_a to node_b. Since we are talking of ~5TB of data to be moved, I'm not fond of restoring and remigrating this data. Export/Import of nodedata comes to mind, but this is the same as restore/migrate. Are there any possibilities to move/reassign the files within the TSM-Server?
Michael - The simplest way is to start fresh with the new node, if possible: REName Node node_a node_b After setting up empty file systems of the same name as were on node_a, restore stubs to it.
If node_a and/or node_b already have other filespaces, you could consider employing -VIRTUALNodename for restorals of previously backed up data.
This approach may be good for some environments. The alternative is the pain of physical data migration.
