I am doing the above with the following steps and want to make sure I haven't missed anything. I already went through this process on a test server, working out all the gotchas (file permissions/ownership/locations, etc).....
1. Stop all activity/access on old server. 2. Backup old server DB to disk FILEDEVCLASS. 3. Backup volhist and devconfig 4. Transfer #2 and #3 to new server via FTP (no SAN disk on any system to share so this is the quickest/easiest way) 5. Install TSM Server 6.1.5 on new server. Run through initial config/setup/*dsmicfgx*. 6. Per instructions in book, remove the initial config via *dsmserv REMOVEDB TSMDB1* and empty TSMLOG/TSMARCHLOG filesystems 7. Copy volhist/devconfig files from old system to proper locations for restore (/home/tsminst1) 8. Preform *dsmserv restore db * 9. Install TSM 6.3 with updates to 6.3.4.300. Per IBM instructions, should automagically upgrade the server and DB2 10. Switch network connections and start up server in production I made sure the new server has the identical HOST name as the old server, so DB2 won't get hinky about a name-change....
