Hi All,
Just want to ask if anybody here already tried migrating from AIX to SUSE Linux? Below is my plan how to do it and see if it's going to work and do i miss something on the steps.
1. BAckup the disk primary storage pool to tape or File (NFS).
2. Backup TSM DB to a FILE device class (NFS) of AIX environment.
3. Copy devconfig, dsmserv.opt, volhist to NFS (Will this be enough to do the DR on SUSE?).
Stop the TSM AIX SERVER at this time.
4. Install and configure a new TSM on SUSE Linux with same version of TSM on AIX. Use same naming conventions and configurations (instance owner, db and log locations etc.)
5. Backup the new TSM DB on Linux to FILE device class (NFS) so I can revert back if DR goes wrong.
Stop the TSM SUSE SERVER at this time.
6. Mount the TSM DB backup and AIX TSM config files on Linux Server.
7. Replace the Linux TSM config files with AIX TSM config files(dsmserv.opt, devconfig, volhist).
8. Perform dsmserv restore db command. If succesful go to step 10.
9. Can I do step 8 right away without dropping the Linux TSM DB?
10. Restore the primary disk pool from Copypool.
Will the above steps work fine, because as per IBM the above steps are not currently supported (The only supported is the import/export which is impossible for now to our client as they have a lot of data and they dont want to burn their network).
Notes all the userid/password (tsminst1/tsminst1) used are the same for the NFS, TSM for AIX, TSM for LINUX. Even the group (1001) and user(1002) UID are the same.
any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks in advance.
