what I've done just yesterday is: on the new box: format log and db volumes restore most recent full dbbackup copy over start/stop scripts and dsmserv.opt old server: stop and start with 'DISABLESCHEDS YES' and 'NOMIGRRECL' in dsmserv.opt disable sessions empty out all disk and file volumes delete them all make incremental dbbackup halt old server new server: retore incermental on new box (commit=yes) start tsm on the new box recreate disk and file volumes We usually only do full dbbackups, so I had no intermediate incrementals... If you empty out all you disk/file volumes before you restart your server, your downtime might be as short as one incremental backup and one incremental resore, minutes.... > > Mel Dennis > Systems Engineer - IT743 > Siemens Power Generation > 4400 Alafaya Trail > Orlando, FL 32826 > MC Q1-108 > Tel: (407) 736-2360 > Win: 439-2360 > Fax: (407) 243-0260 > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post SARA - Reken- en Netwerkdiensten http://www.sara.nl High Performance Computing Tel. +31 20 592 3000 Fax. +31 20 668 3167 PGP Key fingerprint = 6367 DFE9 5CBC 0737 7D16 B3F6 048A 02BF DC93 94EC "I really didn't foresee the Internet.
