Dear all,

First of all, we install TSM server v5.2.3 with basic initialization setting. And then 
we also install TSM client v5.2.3 on all clients, and TSM Storage Agent v5.2.3 on all 
supported client (Client's with fiber connection to SAN Switch). We also use 3590 tape 
library with 'Random 2 Lun' for the acf mode. We use 2 tapes for this test.


After that we define the servers for TSM Storage Agent and also define the Drive Path 
for each of those servers. After that we initialize the TSM Storage Agent on each 
server.



We also add the dsm.opt file on each client the 'enablelanfree yes' line. After all of 
the necessary requirement for lanfree backup to work, we try to backup 1 client server 
(cd1) using lanfree (cd1agent). The session established, and then the tape mounted, 
and then the backup started. Backup successful using lanfree for that server. After 
that while the tape still mounted on drive with status: 'idle', we start to test 
backup another client server (fr1). Now the problem ocuur at this point, by the time 
the session established with fr1, the tape dismount, and then it mounted again and 
dismount again and so on, but the backup never started. So we end the session, restart 
the TSM Server and reset the drive on 3590 tape. After all sessions and mounts are 
cleared, we begin to try another backup using lanfree. After the 1st server finish its 
backup with the state success, we try to clear all of the sessions from the 1st server 
and then disable the TSM Storage Agent Service on that server too, After all is 
cleared, we try to backup the second server, and it's working just fine with success 
results. Both the 1st and 2nd servers using win2k3 for their OS, suspecting that TSM 
not yet fully applicable with this new OS, we try the same scenario with servers using 
Win2k server for their OS, and the problem still occurs. The ports that are open are 
1500, 1501, 1504, 1580, 1581. We can 'ping server' the storage agents, also if we use 
the command 'show lanfree' , it show no problem with the lanfree connection. So, anyy 
suggestion regarding this matter?
