Yes, we are. It involves setting up a second storage agent on the Windows client.
First, make a directory called storageagent2 in parallel with the first storageagent directory (e.g. c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\storageagent2). Then, copy the dsmsta.opt file from the storageagent1 directory to the storageagent2 directory, and modify it accordingly - COMMETHOD has to be TCPIP, and the TCPPort has to be different from the first stg agent. (actually, in 5.3 and later, I understand you could use Sharedmem, if unique shmports are specified. Named Pipes will not work.) Next, open a command prompt, navigate to the storageagent2 directory, and run the "dsmsta setstorageserver" command, with the -k parameter as shown below. ...\storageagent\dsmsta -k StorageAgent2 setstorageserver myname=.... Then, from the command prompt, run the command to create the new service: ...\storageagent\install "TSM StorageAgent2" "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\storageagent\dstasvc.exe" AdminID Password The service name has to be exactly as shown, "TSM StorageAgent2" (or 3, or 4 - you can have up to 4 storage agents running on one Windows server). The client option files have to use LANFREECOMMETHOD TCPIP (or Sharedmem, if that's the way you went), and specify the correct LANFREETCPPORT (or shmport) to access the correct storage agent.
