Actually, I don't know that you have to register the node on the other server. I think you can export things like policy, admins, the node definition minus the data, etc. I did those very things in a similar exercise this past week that Amos here is going through now. I moved policy definitions, admin definitions, node definitions, and later the node data. It was slick.

I see from 1TB to 7TB per day for different exports ( the bigger, the faster ) over GBit Ethernet. _Bill -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bell, Charles (Chip) Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 1:07 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Export Node with 24TB to other TSM on other Site You can use the parameters "filedata=all" and toserver=otherTSMserverName" on the export node command. But that would only go smoothly and quickly as possible if you have a reasonably fast link between the two servers, tape won't be too much of a bottleneck, and the export won't come from a multitude of tapes. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amos Hagay ADSM Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 3:00 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Export Node with 24TB to other TSM on other Site Hi To All, I got 2 TSM Servers, and I need to Export Node from one server to another, I have a connection between the 2 Sites, and everything is working great, my problem is that I need to Export 24TB of data, In the beginning I thought that I can export the Node to the other server without Data, and send to volumes by mail to the other site and checkin the volumes into the library, But its not work in this way, on the other hand I thought to create a Backup set, or event export the node to Tapes, but I don't have enough volumes because the library is full, And I also have a problem because I don't have an operators on the site, everything is done remotely. Is there any way to move the Client meta Data to the other server and then send the volumes from one site to another ? Or is there any way to export the node data to the second site ?
