If your v6 tsm is a different server than your v7 tsm, then you only need to do step 1 of the procedure below. It is only if you are trying to get the data back to the original server that you have to go to a second server then back again.

I think the steps you mention follow what is in the directory-container storage pool FAQ: Q6. How can I store existing data to a directory-container pool by using replication? Are there other techniques? Firstly, a conversion utility is currently being considered by product management. Currently, the only methods that you can use to store data in a directory-container pool are: * Client store operations such as backup, archive, and space management. * Node Replication from another server. You can use node replication to move data from one storage pool to another on the same machine, but you must replicate the data to another server to do this. For example, if you have a node, N1, on a server, S1, in a storage pool, P1, and you want to move it to a directory-container storage pool, P2, you must complete the following steps: 1. Replicate all the data for node N1 to server S2. 2. Rename node N1 to N1.X. 3. Replicate the node to server S1 from server S2. 4. Change the management class and the copy group destinations, or both, in the policy on server S1 to ensure that the data from server S2 is stored the directory-container storage pool, P2. When all the data from node N1 is stored on server S1, you can delete the file spaces for node N1 on servers S1 and S2, remove node N1.X from server S1, and remove node N1 from server S2. To switch replication directions, you must use the REMOVE REPLNODE command after the first replication (from S1 to S2) on both servers and then re-enable replication on server S2 to server S1. You cannot use the node replication on a single file space within a node. The entire node must be replicated. This process seems cumbersome. Would be much easier to start backing up node again on new 7.1.5.0 server and age node out on 6.3.5.100 server. I hope they fix the export/import in the near future.

Copy the policy domain from source to destination, and then in the destination, point the target to the container. --------------------------------------------------- David Nixon Storage Engineer II Technology Services Group Carilion Clinic 451 Kimball Ave. Roanoke, VA 24015 Phone: 540-224-3903 cdni...@carilionclinic.org<mailto:cdni...@carilionclinic.org> Our mission: Improve the health of the communities we serve. ________________________________________ From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] on behalf of Maness, Eric [eric.man...@oa.mo.gov] Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2016 3:44 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU<mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Subject: [ADSM-L] Directory-Container Storage Pools - Export/Import Is the following still true for directory-container storage pools for version 7.1.5.0: Q4. Can I use existing commands or utilities to move data out of a directory-container storage pool? No, but these, or similar, capabilities are being considered by IBM Spectrum Protect product management for the future roadmap. Traditional move and copy features are not supported for directory-container storage pools. You cannot use the following commands with directory-container storage pools: * BACKUP STGPOOL * EXPORT/IMPORT * GENERATE BACKUPSET * MOVE DATA * MOVE NODEDATA * MIGRATE STGPOOL I'm trying to export node from version 6.3.5.100 and import into version 7.1.5.0.
