GPFS FAQs indicates that virtual SCSI is supported. Can I mix physical and
virtual AIX systems in a cluster for LAN-free backup? (talking about
feasibility, not performance).
Thank you,

NPIV works well with both disk and tape, but make sure you take in account the
fact that the virtualized hba you get on your client lpar is not the same kind
you get on the VIO.
The output of lsdev -Cc adapter is ;
Fcs0 Available C2-T1 Virtual Firbre Channel Client Adapter
Fcs1 Available C2-T1
With VIOS v2, VIO servers can virtualize HBAs. So it is possible to run
LAN-free via a virtualized HBA. I haven't done it yet, so can't speak
to performance.

Hi,

to add hbas dedicates only for LPAR lanfree Backup.

I've not tried it yet, but NPIV should work OK. TSM wouldn't know the
underlying connectivity.
Not forgetting the strong recommendation NOT to share disk and tape
traffic down the same HBA.

Greetings,
Perhaps my suggestion is too outside the box, but why would an older

usually not even a fraction of that. If they have a lot
This will only affect you if your TSM server is still running Windows
2000. If you have important systems running w2k which are TSM clients
and you don't want to update them to a newer OS, IBM will still support
them using the TSM 5.3.6 client. TSM clients don't need to be able to
run the tap

Thank you for the reply.
Our only way out was to kill the TSM StorageAgent process and restart
it. Lanfree backups then continued as normal. For some of the messages
and message text, there were a number of identical hits on the IBM
support site saying that this had happened in TSM v5.2.

It involves setting up a second storage agent on the Windows client.
First, make a directory called storageagent2 in parallel with the first

Hi Paul,
I agree with you on the small files and LAN-Free - BUT - we have

there is a need for Lan-Free on Netware - bringing me to the
2nd part of Netware and backups - the unfortunate thing with Netware
and small files is this:

The reality is this. File system backups of small files are not a good
candidate for SAN Tape backups. Netware does not run any large file
databases, so there is no SAN Storage Agent requirement. The answer is
Gigabit between your TSM server and the client and let the TSM server stream
the data
It is my understanding that LAN-free backup works only with Windows and
UNIX clients.
