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? regards, Mario Sunarto Technical Consultant PT Niaga Prima Paramitra IBM Business Partner Tivoli Software Department Pinang Mas I / UT-23 Pondok Indah, Jakarta 12310 Phone : +6221-7692918, +6221-7692920 +6221-7663663 (Direct) Fax : +6221-7505194 Mobile : +62856-9908787 E-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
