You could just leave the old node defined exactly the way it was. The archives will last however long the definition states. When the new node needs to access data from the old node you can do:
newnode# dsmc retrieve -virtualnode=oldnodename ........ To transfer the information I will defer to someone else to answer :-) -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of -ray Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 10:18 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] change archive ownership We recently upgraded to a new database server, and took the old one out of commission. They are different TSM nodenames. The old node had lots of archives that i'd like the new node to have access to. Is there an easy way to do this? Ideally i'd like to just transfer ownership so a 'q archive' on the new node would show all old archives as well. ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information.
