Hello TSM'ers,
Did anyone come across this issue, we have a scheduled back that starts
at 6am, and usually ends by 9. I just logged on to check on other processes
and noticed that the schedule is still running but the byte count is not
changing:
Primary Pool UNIX_TAPEPOOL, Copy Pool DRM_TAPE_-
All,
The TSM Backup-Archive client has support for MSCS (Windows), HACMP (AIX)
and NCS (NetWare) clustering solutions. If you are using a clustering
solution on one of the Intel platforms other then these listed, you will
have these naming issues after a fail-over.
We are looking into something

If you use LAN FREE the storage agent will push it over the fiber, not over

the data is.

Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EM
A backup is considered LAN-FREE when the data does not pass through the LAN. If data
comes from internal SCSI disks and goes through the HBA straght to the tapes, then no
data was transmitted on the network. For server-free backups, then you need data on
the SAN backed up to tapes on the SAN.
Gu
Then how is that considered LAN-free? If the data is not on the SAN
then how is it gonna be backed up "LAN-free"? It's just not possible.

This is incorrect. LAN FREE either the data from the SAN or not from the
SAN it will backup using LAN FREE or through the fiber.

If the data to be backed up is not on the SAN, it is my understanding
that the SAN agent will send it over the IP network (traditional
