Hello Bill, As other have posted, TSM should handle the backups without problems related to the use of different network domains.
But. You might want to look at why there are different domains. Might you expect that in the future that one or more of the 3 sister companies might be sold or split off totally. If so you might want to set up your tsm domains, storage pools etc, so that the sister companies do not share resources such as tapes. len -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of william dourado Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 7:19 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Backing up nodes in a different Network Domain Hi all, It's a possibility that our 3 sister companies on the same site currently sharing the same LAN maybe split into 3 network domains using Vlans and firewalls. All 3 Domains will somehow, have access to central services like internet, accounting applications, etc. We intend to retain the one TSM Server that we have. If the TSM Server is say in Domain A, is it possible to backup clients in domains B and C ? Are there any drawbacks ? TSM Server Windows V5.4.2.0 Many Thanks Bill View your Twitter and Flickr updates from one place - Learn more! _________________________________________________________________ Get the best of MSN on your mobile http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/147991039/direct/01/
