All of our TSM servers are based on AIX in our main data centers. We recently took control of a branch location who has been running on Windows. We are spending a disproportionate amount of time to get our automation, and everything else, to work with Windows just for this little branch. little things like no grep or mail causes headaches. I know there are ways to get this to work, just requires time to work on it, where I'd rather just spend the extra money for an AIX box.

That's what I figured, but I'm not keeping that thing around for 7 years. I guess we'll have to stick with Windows :( Regards, Shawn ________________________________________________ Shawn Drew Internet john.schnei...@computercoachingcommunity.com Sent by: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU 08/03/2009 06:38 PM Please respond to ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU To ADSM-L cc Subject Re: [ADSM-L] Change TSM Platform Shawn, >From my understanding, you are going to have to set up a new TSM server, and migrate the clients over to it. You can use the export commands to export policies and client data from one TSM server to another directly across the LAN. That will make it somewhat less painful, but depending on how many clients you have, this could take a few weeks. You will have to have enough storage capacity on the new system to absorb all this data. If you only have one tape library, you will have to set up library sharing, and have enough tapes to have two copies of some clients' data as you migrate clients over. If you want more detailed instructions, please ask. Many of us have been through such migrations before. According to the help on EXPORT NODE, you can't use it on nodes of type NAS. You will have to move the NAS clients over to the new TSM server, and wait for the old backups to expire before you retire the old backup server. Best Regards, John D.

They are binary incompatible. You cannot upload DB from x86 to Power (this is what backup/restore essentially doees). Your only option is to export DB. Don't know about the NDMP. -- Warm regards, Michael Green On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 9:06 PM, Shawn Drew<shawn.d...@americas.bnpparibas.com> wrote: > We are looking at the possibility of changing a branch's TSM 5.4 server > from Windows to AIX. > As far as I know, you can NOT backup a DB on Windows and restore it to an > AIX platform.
