Hi The easiest way would probably to setup your new library and server on the remote site, configure the TSM instance and then export the information from the old server to the new server over a server-to-server connection.
This is described in the TSM server manual, chapter 22: Exporting and importing data. The way you describe is possible aswell, even though I would change it slightly: 1. Connect your new library to the old server 2. Migrate the information from the old library to the new library (copying the data will only create a copygroup in your new library) 3. Make a databasebackup from your old server to the new library 4. Transport the new library to the new location and connect it to your new server 5. Restore the databasebackup which you took to the new server. The last scenario will however have more impact on your existing production environment. A database backup / restore scenario (or copying of volumes as you described it) is only a valid scenario if you're changing to a server with the same operating system (Windows > Windows, Linux > Linux). In all other cases, only a export / import scenario will be a valid choice.

Current configuration: Windows 2003 x32 TSM 5.5.1.1 Library IBM 3584 with 3592 drives New configuration: Windows 2008 x64 Library IBM 3584 with LTO4 drives We are changing location and want to move it all over the WAN. The speed of the WAN wont be an issue at all. This is what I´m thinking how to do it. Connect the new library to the old server (FC) and backup all the data to the new library. Install the new server and when all the data is in the new library copy dbvol, logvol and storagepool volumes to the new server. Then connect the new library to the new W2K8 server and correct all the devices to match the new server. Right? /Larsa ________________________________ This communication is from a Carnegie company within the Carnegie Group.
