On the new box I would run dsmserv format to create new db and log volumes as desired (ensure they are at least as large as the current volumes). Then run a dsmserv restore db of the most recent db backup of the old machine. Before doing this, copy your volhist.out and devconfig.out from the old system to the new to ease the restore. Obviously, TSM is installed on the new system.
This should be a very straightforward migration for you. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

My actual scenario is working on AIX server (B50 model): 1) TSM server v4.1.4 on AIX 4.3.3 (ML 08) 2) the db volumes are in the file system /tsmlocal (internal disks). 3) the log volumes are in the file system /tsmstore (external disks, EMC symmetrix FCP raid1) 4) the data volumes are in the file systems /tsmstore and /tsmsymbk (externel disks, EMC symmetrix FCP raid1) The future scenario should work on AIX server (B80 model): 1) TSM server v4.1.4 (or 4.2) on AIX 4.3.3 (ML 08) 2) the db/log volumes in the internal disks 3) the data volumes are at the external disks (EMC symmetrix FCP raid1) Thanks Paolo Nasca Cleis Technology srl Via E.
