TDP products as TDP for MS Exchange rely on TSM API client for client-server iteraction. So if the API client for your platform (i.e. NT/2000) can access the storage agent the TDP is LAN-free capable. Windows NT/2000 are the first platform to implement LAN-free storage agents so the answer is "yes

Hi Zlatko! This is 'normal behavior'. When backups go to a 100% full diskpool TSM tries to allocate storage in the nextstgpool defined for your diskpool, which is probably your primary tapepool. So all backups are going to wait for mountpoint in the tapepool. That's why the client backups seem to

Any data you write with TSM requires BOTH a TSM server and a TSM client to recover, and the TSM server has to be running a copy of the data base that was active at the time you did the archive. The TSM data is not retrieveable without the data base. -Original Message- From: Vint Maggs

Just a minor quibble here, Eric -- The backups WILL go back to the disk pool if there is space - but AFTER processing the one file that required the media mount. TSM looks for space for each object as it comes in, and decides for that one object which pool to use. Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc >
