I would restore OS and all from your tape.
There is a warning in the backup and recovery manual about restoring to a
different system.
Appendix D is the classic Bible on doing an unload/reload to a different
system.
The thing you are concerned about is:
<snip>
If you are restoring to a different system, or a
different logical partition, you must specify
ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) or ALWOBJDIF(*COMPATIBLE) on
the RSTxxx commands and SRM(*NONE) on the
Restore Configuration (RSTCFG) command.
</snip>
Or from the menu restore option pay attention to
<snip>
On the Specify Command Defaults display, enter the name of the tape drive
that you are using for the restore.
Set Prompt for command to N.
Set Message queue delivery to *NOTIFY.
Set Restore to different system to Y.
Set Spooled file data to *NEW.
</snip>
especially the "Restore to different system" prompt This will change the
defaults to match the commands above.

Failure to change SRM can <expletive deleted> up your system, big time.

Of course, BRMS prints a nice recovery checklist which I've actually used
to do unload/reload from P6 to P8.
Jim scoff's at the idea of using BRMS to do a planned unload/reload
because he's so comfortable doing these. And he may be right. Me? I
figure it was a good test of their recovery procedures.

Basically, just follow the fine manual. They did not write this manual
for people like Jim, Larry, Pete. They wrote it for the masses.
