The TSM client automatic deployment functionality relies on the following functionality (see below for details), so I would say the importing server/client and the exporting server/client are compatible as long as the version of the importing side is the same or newer than the exporting side. In other words, the importing server must be the same or newer than the exporting server, and the importing client must be the same or newer than the exporting client.
1. export a client node (version 5.4.0.0) with files archived in one version of TSM server (6.2.0.0) 2. import the node into any TSM server (6.2.0.0 and newer). 3. after the import, we are able to retrieve all of the archived files from the node imported on the new TSM server (example: 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, or 7.1) 4. after setting proper access on the new TSM server, other registered nodes on the new TSM server can also retrieved archived filed from the imported node (as long as the nodes versions are not older than 5.4.0.0) Regards, Jean Yu (512) 286-9376 (T/L 363-9376) From: Bill Boyer <bjdbo...@comcast.net> To: ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu, Date: 03/28/2014 10:36 AM Subject: [ADSM-L] Export/Import compatibility between server versions Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu> What is the compatibility for being able to EXPORT from one TSM server and IMPORT on another? I have a customer with (2) TSM servers on the other side of the world from each other. They plan on wanting to EXPORT from one and IMPORT and restore on the other. How far apart can the 2 TSM server be and still allowing to swap export tapes/data. Bill Boyer DSS, Inc. (610) 927-4407 "Enjoy life. It has an expiration date." - ??
