No. Each TSM server has it's own data base. There is no way to merge two TSM data bases. What you would have to do is to EXPORT each of the clients from server A, then IMPORT them individually into server B. What a lot of people do, is just point the clients from server A to server B, and let them take new, full backups to server B, essentially starting them over. Then they only do the EXPORT/IMPORT for any clients where it's important to retain the old data, or archived data, as the EXPORT/IMPORT process is relatively slow. You can of course, disconnect the library from server A, and reconnect/use it on server B. And another thing you can do (at least on a UNIX server, don't know about Windows) , is MOVE server A to the same host as server B, and run both instances of the TSM server on the same host. There is not a lot of benefit to doing that, but it would give you some extra time to work on merging the two systems via EXPORT/IMPORT, if you need to get rid of server A quickly. ************************************************************************ Wanda Prather The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab 443-778-8769 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think" - Scott Adams/Dilbert ************************************************************************ -----Original Message----- From: Karsten Hüttmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 9:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: merging two servers (export server) Hi ! One of our customers (Airbus Industries) wants to merge two TSM-Server. Is it possible to import the second server via the following steps ? - export server (on server two) - move the library from the second server to the first - create entries for the library/stgpools and so on - import server (on server one) Is this correct ? Any other suggestions ? Thanks in advance. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen / with regards Karsten Hüttmann
