One correction: usage of "sessioninitiation serveronly" does not disable command line, GUI or Web GUI. Those interfaces, when run, will still attempt to contact the server. They will of course fail if the server is behind a firewall. In other words, "sessioninitiation" should only affect the b/a scheduler and not anything else.

Then you only need to add option "sessioninitiation serveronly" in your client dsm.sys and to update your client definition on TSM server (new fields in 5.2) to tell him he should initiate the session, and eventually which TCP port will be used ... Note that this kind of setup will only be working for BA client scheduled tasks, not for API based backups, and that it also disables use of command line, GUI and web GUI clients. Hope it helped ...
