Hello Nora,
you're not telling us the version of the TSM-Server on the broken
Solaris System. If it is a Version 5 Server, there is the possibility to
migrate the TSM-DB to Linux and thus preserving the data in the library
for further use.
This is possible with TSM 7.1, have a look into the Upgrade-Guide.

Hello,
We recently lost a TSM server because of a severe server hardware problem that makes the
tape library completely inaccessible to the server. We are now building a new TSM server
and connecting the library to it. However the new TSM server we are building is on a
different OS (Red Hat linux) while the original server was on Solaris 10. The different
OS's between the 2 servers makes it impossible to restore the existing TSM database
although we have it. And the old server's inability to use the tape library is also
stopping us from using the "Export Node" functionality for data we want to save.
We are mainly concerned about 120 GB of archived data that we want to retrieve
from this tape library with TSM before migrating to the new TSM server.
Does anyone know of a way to read TSM data of LTO4 tapes without the catalog so
we can save this data? Or does IBM provide such a service ?
