Maria, if your goal is LAN-Free and not Server-Free, what you can try to do
is on all the servers with SAN connectivity, see if you can bind TCP/IP to
your SAN transport. If you can, use a set of "private network" IP addresses
for each node on the SAN. That will get your backups off of the LAN.

Subject: SAN support in TSM 4.1
I have been reading the new redbook:
SG24-6110-00 Tivoli Storage Manager Version 3.7.3 & 4.1: Technical Guide
and I am very much worried to read that the lan free backup is only
supported for TDP exchange and SAP r3.
We have installed this tsm 4.1 version in a customer who is using a san
configuration through a router to connect a DLT library that should be used
by backup clients in order to avoid using the internal network.
How can I check that the data are really going through the san and not to
the lan?
Can someome from Tivoli support confirm that the normal backup - archive
client is not supported lan free?
If this is so, is there any plans for a prompt support of this feature?
I do not know how to tell the customer that we have made such a terrible
mistake.
Regards
Maria
