Hello,

We want to create several partitions controller by AIX/Linux Vio
Server.  I am interesting in run lanfree backups and I am looking
info about that.

Questions:

If  I want to run lan free backup over a Lpar controlled by Vio
Server, need  I to define a dedicated HBA for this LPar ?

Can I share a Hba for two Lpars and run lanfree, is it supported ?



as far as I know, not. VIO servers can only emulate/share disks, not 
tapedevices. so you'll need dedicated HBAs for the LPARs that require 
tape access.



Could anybody tell me where can I find docs about AIX/Linux/Lpar/Vio
and TSM lanfree ?

Regards,

Fran

Francisco,

How about installing a small TSM Server on one of your LPARs.  It would be
a library management client to your main TSM server and back up itself and
the other LPARs across the virtual ethernet.  The only local disk you would
need is the TSM DB and log,  backups could go straight to tape just as if
it was a storage agent..
