George,
try to look at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg246132.html, it's still a
redpiece, but we cover there the most question you mentioned.
Now, just a few notes:
- LAN-free data transfer provided with the Storage Agent - which comes with
the TSM4.1 server - is right now supported only with TDP for MS Exchange and
SAP R/3, in the future it is intended to support other TDP products as well.
- Nowadays, Storage Agent doesn't support B/A clients.
- Storage Agent is now available for WindowsNT/W2K only.
> TSM 4.1 provide a SAN agent, it can make the Client backup directly to
> 3590E tape drive. But it looks like 3494 atl is not support yet, Is that
is
> true?? How can the TSM servers share the tape drives??
Read Chapter 5 in the above mentioned redpiece.

Subject: SAN backup and tape drive share with 3494?
> Hi all,

> We are trying to develop SAN with 3494 libr. We have 7 ADSM servers with

3590E
