There is no function/command set in TSM to merge data from two different nodes. You can cheat and do it with export/import (convenient you are planning an export anyway). You will have to do it when there are no sessions active to either node: Here are the steps; if you want the data to end up belonging to node2, both export/import runs have to be done with the name of node2:
On TSM 5.5: Rename node2 nodetemp rename node1 node2 export node2 to TSM 6.2 filedata=archive rename node2 node1 rename nodetemp node2 export node2 to TSM 6.2 filedata=all merge=yes Not sure what the resulting password will be on the 6.2 server, probably the password for node1 - check it after all done. Also if these are Windows servers, think about what the resulting filespaces will look like - you could also rename the filespaces when you rename the nodenames if you want to get them merged as well. If there is a lot of data involved, I'd suggest you test this first with a couple of tiny nodes, as a practice run, to make sure you are getting the results you want.

What I want to do is merge these two together, so that all archive data is under the nodename node2. I will then be doing server import/export to TSM 6.2 I have been over the forums and commands I would think would do it but I'm not getting anywhere, anybody have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Dean.
