Subject: Re: Urgent!!! transferring adsm server into new machine
I've had to do this several times. The only other consideration is any
storage
pools containing disk volume. I've found that the easiest way to handle
these
have been to move the data to a tape storage pool.
The documentation for the dsmserv command is in Appendix A of the Tivoli
Storage
Manager Administrator's Reference for both Windows and AIX.
