TSM Server Migration

Hi all, I am wondering if there are any issues folks can inform me as it relates to a migration of TSM to a new server. The one main question I have is this. If I attach the 3584 and LTO2 drives to a new server, install TSM at the same level currently and define the library and one drive, will TSM

OK, if this is a DR scenario, it's a little more complicated. In fact, a lot more complicated. Are both TSM servers at the same location? I wouldn't expect they are if this is for DR. In a disaster, you need to plan for TSM A being unavailable, so you need a way to get your nodes' data to TSM B

First of all, I have successfully built a BartPE CD including decent TSM client version which is deployed on our servers. That's actually easy. You can decide which scsi controller and network controller drivers you need. If you compare TSM+BartPE restores to e.g. Acronis TrueImage I would say
