I am looking at different options to migrate data from our current server, version 5.3.3 to a second TSM server, 5.3.5. Actually the new server will have 2 instances of TSM running and I will need to divide the clients between the 2, the old one will be retired. I have several different paths that I can follow and am trying to get a little more detailed information so I know we can decide on which method to use.
If I want to migrate server-to-server does the data go into the disk storage pool for the node first and then copy off to tape? I am using the same library and tapes for the new server that the current server uses, will the new server keep the tapes I already have for the node or will it write new ones? I know there is a lot more to this, I'm just trying to find out how some of the processes work.
