Hi all, I have a question regarding hardware migration: Our current system is TSM 5.2.2.4 on a Win2k server with a SCSI attached 3583. We have purchased new server hardware (we will be using Win2k3) and an ADIC i2000 library with 4x LTO2 SCSI drives. The library is being attached to the new server at the moment and I will need to migrate to the new setup as soon as possible. I am hoping I will be able to run a db backup on the current system and restore to the new system (I'm assuming I will need to delete and redefine drives, library, paths and storage pools once 'Server1' is started on the new system?). Has anybody carried out a similar task and if so can you offer any advice on the best way to migrate from our current setup to the new? I will be installing TSM (5.2.2.4) to the new server today or tomorrow - our current db volume is on the local D: drive but will live on the E: drive of the new server - will it be possible to restore to E:? Should I use 'dsmfmt -db' and 'dsmfmt -log' to create the appropriate volumes? A friend has suggested creating a new devc of 'file', running a db backup to use this devc and then copying the backup across to the new server to use for the db restore rather than trying to mount a tape in the new library - would this be possible? I would be very grateful for any advice or suggestions, many thanks.
