Only way of migrating between platforms(Windows > UNIX, UNIX > Windows, Mainframe > UNIX/Windows and so on) and retain the information stored in your library is to do a export-import scenario(server-to-server would probably be the way to go) of all data between the servers.

Our TSM server is a Sun 280R with 1 x 750MHz CPU, 1GB RAM sunning Solaris 2.8 but, to be honest, this system is underspecified and sometimes can't cut it. The TSM is 5.2.1. The tape library is a fibre-attached Adic Scalar 1000 with 6xLTO1 drives and 188 tapes and it mostly backs up Windows stuff. The powers-that-be wish to migrate this to a Windows 2003 box using the same tape library - and soon. It's a political decision and not really up for debate at the moment. The first TSM consultants that I've approached have said that we cannot retain the legacy data and that if we install TSM onto a Windows server, all of the data will be lost unless we dual-access the library and retain the Solaris TSM. As the library is full and then some, that isn't really an option even if the politics wouldn't get in the way. My question - Is this the case? My skills are Windows and we do have some good Solaris people.
