If you use the GIGE address of the TSM server in your DSM.OPT file on the client, then the BACKUP data will go over the GIGE card. Any data FROM the TSM server TO the client will go out the network adapter on the TSM server however TCPIP routing takes it. If you have multiple adapters in the TSM server, the outbound traffic will first go the adapter that is on the same subnet as the client. If the GIGE and client are not on the same subnet, then the traffic will go out the default route unless you have a specific ROUTE in effect. If you want ALL data to go in and out the GIGE card, either disable the other adapters, or change the default route to be the GIGE adapter.
I had a client that had in their AIX TSM server 1 10/100 card and 2 GIGE cards ALL set to the same subnet. Backup inbound data to the TSM server came in over the GIGE adapter, but since the 10/100 card was the default route, all outbound traffic, and that included RESTOREs went out the 10/100. They couldn't figure out why restores too so long.

This was my initial concern. Can anyone confirm exactly what one needs to do to ensure one traverses the GIGE NIC for both inbound and outbound traffic? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dwight Cook Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: GIGE connectivity via TSM tcpclientaddress only sets the initial address for the server to come in on.... (last I remember) beyond that, standard system/network routing takes over. I'm still at 4.2 & 5.1 (moving to 5.2 in the next couple of months) but we currently put route statements on the client nodes to ensure they exit out their proper interfaces to access the tsm server(s).

I have a Solaris client running TSM v5.2. It will be getting a GIGE card. What is the best/recommended way to ensure data is traversing the GIGE card (in both directions... outbound/inbound) if it is not set up as the default NIC on the client. thx. ============================================================================ == If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it.
