I have a singel pseries running 2 TSM server instances the use one san connected 3584 library.
One server instance is library manager and the second instance is a library client.
I can restore TDP for SAP data from the second instance via LAN.
The thing I want to achieve is a LAN free restore of TDP sap/r3 data.
I have a storageagent talking to the second instance via port 1502 and a TDP for sap talking to hte same instance.. restore start, sessions get opend on the agent but the data still goes LAN ?
Does anybody has some expirience with this kind of configurations ?
A have already openend a call to tivoli but mabey the good old list will beat them to it ?
By the way:
TSM server and agent level 5.1.7. AIX 5.2.

The TSM 4.2 technical guide states:
4.2.1 LAN-free backup using SCSI tape library sharing ....feature allows multiple TSM servers to access the same tape library and drives on a SAN as shown in Figure 4-2. One TSM server is dedicated as the library manager to control the library operations. These operations include mount, dismount, volume ownership and library inventory. Other servers sharing the library are called library clients. They use server-to-server communications to contact the library manager to request the library service. Using this tape library sharing feature, if the TSM client coexists on the library client as shown...
in Figure 4-1 on page 120, the library client can write the client data to the SAN-attached tape library without going through the LAN. When a backup or restore is invoked, the TSM client establishes a connection with the TSM server on the local machine. The local TSM server, being a library client, then sends a volume mount request to the library manager via server-to-server communications. Once the volume is mounted, the TSM client sends the backup data to the local TSM server, and the TSM server writes directly to SAN-attached device.
