Parts of SANergy have NOT been incorporated into TSM. SANergy allows access to a file system on a SAN drive by multiple clients - the SANergy MDC coordinates access to the file system; therefore multiple clients do not scramble the file system, as would be the case if each system thought it was "managing" the file system ( since all drives are viewed as local from each system ). The SANergy MDC provides information to each SANErgy client that allows them to directly access the drive on the SAN. Each client backing up to disk uses its own FILE devclass device ( it's own file ). A FILE devclass device may be in use by only one party. The server coordinates access to an individual file between the server and the client. The number of files in use concurrently is controlled by the MOUNTLIMIT attribute of the devclass. The data will move from the SAN to the client and back to FILE device on the SAN. Barry Fruchtman Tivoli Storage Manager Development
