Hi Etienne, you can use remote disks for file device class. I am not sure about 5.1 version, but I did this on 4.2 version and it worked fine. I had problems with using disk device class on remote disks, but file device class worked for me. You can even use UNC names for file volumes (it is better than using drive mapping, bacause you do not need to be logged in to console on TSM server)

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to have a storage pool on a remote
machine without installing TSM on it. Typically, what I wan't to do is to
use space on a remote server to have a disk or a file storage pool on it. I
tried with a file device class and it allows only local disks. A disk
devices class goes a little further, but when it tries to format the
volume, there's an error. One possibility would be to create a local file
storage pool and then to copy the files on the remote servers and put the
file volumes in offline state, or something like that, but is there
something easier ?
I tried that with TSM 5.1.5
