I know that I can install the storage agent on a client and do LAN-free backups of that client to tape or disk. But when I read pages 1&2, and especially FIGURE 2 on page 2, it seems like you can also back up other clients TO the storage agent over IP. If I understand it correctly, in the dsm.sys file of the client without the storage agent, you specify TCP/IP as your LANFREECOMMMETHOD, and for LANFREETCPSERVERADDRESS you specify the IP address of the client WITH the storage agent. The client without the storage agent would then back its data up over IP to the client with the storage agent, and the client with the storage agent would transfer that data via the SAN to disk or tape.
So here are my questions: 1. Have I interpreted this correctly? 2. If not, what did I get wrong? 3. If so, does anyone use this feature? 4. If no one uses the feature, why not? It would seem like it help TSM scale farther. Thanks in advance for your help. ________________________________________________________ Curtis Preston | VP Data Protection GlassHouse Technologies, Inc.
