Hi, This is how storage agent 6.1 works which might be one of the differences of this version: "the storage agent can support several clients while installed on only one of the clients. You can also install the storage agent on a client system that does not share storage resources with the Tivoli Storage Managerserver, but that is connected to a client system that does share storage resources"
