I figured as much, export/import is not blazingly fast, so, 2020 is probably a pretty good estimate.
Why? IBM charges about 3 times more in maintenance costs than SUN (at similar performance points) Thanks for the insights.

I'd say this is one of the least used platforms for TSM and probably less stable than even windows ;-) You must have very strong reasons to go to solaris, because you are in for a huge amount of work.

Good luck, speak to you in 2020 or so when you're done (or gave up) ;-) server to server exports are only possible if the target server is at at least the same level as the source. > > Can anyone point me to a Redbook or the section in the Admin Guide to > help me understand what I am going to have to do?
