Hi all The method I would use is to do a full DR recovery of the DB as you have done.
I take it you are using the same library on the new system. If so then you will have to do a restore diskpools from your offsite tapes, your current tape pools will still be valid however. You can get this info from your DRM plan (use the prepare statement after running a full DB backup) and look at the recover diskpool volumes. Just make sure you have the disks available with the empty storage pool first as per the old server, besides naming the server etc. Then point all your nodes to the new server if you are not using DNS for the names. Once this process is complete, you will have your TSM up and running on the new server. Look at the recovery Redbook on the IBM site.
