When I moved my TSM server to another machine I just copied the database, logs and config files to the new machine. I used NFS but you can use tape, CD, DVD - whatever is convenient. I'm pretty sure I installed the new TSM server first and then overwrote the dsmserv.dsm, dsmserv.opt, Volume_History and Device_Configuration files that the installation process created with the ones from my old server. The old server will need to be down when you copy the database and logs. If you made the mount points for the database and logs the same you can bring TSM up and check it out. Once you're happy with the new installation then connect up your tape library and you're good to go.
Another option is to try our you're disaster recovery procedures and try to restore and rebuild your TSM server on the new machine.
Hope this helps
