Nora, If you are able to bring up the old TSM server, you could do a export node directly to the new TSM server, provided that the two can communicate via TCP/IP with each other. I believe that TSM 7.1 allows you to restore UNIX operating systems TSM database backups into the new server, though to be honest, I am not sure the solaris is included.

We are now building a new TSM server and connecting the library to it. However the new TSM server we are building is on a different OS (Red Hat linux) while the original server was on Solaris 10. The different OS's between the 2 servers makes it impossible to restore the existing TSM database although we have it. And the old server's inability to use the tape library is also stopping us from using the "Export Node" functionality for data we want to save. We are mainly concerned about 120 GB of archived data that we want to retrieve from this tape library with TSM before migrating to the new TSM server. Does anyone know of a way to read TSM data of LTO4 tapes without the catalog so we can save this data? Or does IBM provide such a service ? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
