Greetings,
Perhaps my suggestion is too outside the box, but why would an older
Win2k box NEED to be Lan-free? In most cases I have found that a Win2K box
can't push the data fast enough to saturate a 1Gb Ethernet link anyway, and
usually not even a fraction of that. If they have a lot of files to back up
going straight to tape might be a little faster, but if you have the TSM
Journal set up right and a recent enough version of the TSM client to get the
best IP performance, you may find the time of a Lan backup is acceptable. You
may want to take the Lan-free option out of dsm.opt and give it a try, just to
see the difference.
Of course, I am assuming this won't overload your TSM server, you
didn't tell us about that side of your situation.
Best Regards,
John D. Schneider

Subject: [ADSM-L] LAN-FREE backup from Win2k to LTO4
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
As we know from readme for driver:
*****************
* General Items *
*****************
1) Support for Windows 2000 on new IBM Tape products has been
discontinued. LTO 3 and 3592-E05 are the last tape drives that will be
supported on this operating system.
we have a couple of important w2k servers and really bad idea performing
upgrade to w2k3...
I appreciate any help.
