Hello No, it's not different in 6.1, earlier versions work the same. What you need to remember though is that you normally install a LAN-Free agent to get the data OFF the ethernet network. If you're backing up a host with a storage agent on another host the data goes over ethernet to get to it.

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" Reference: Storage Manager for SAN for AIX version 6.1(Storage Agent User?s Guide) http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6/topic/com.ibm.itsm.sta.doc/b_stg_agent_guide_aix.pdf Regards, Mehdi Salehi
