I realize you that you do not want to use EtherChannel, my question is why not? Asking for another couple of adapters and an extra couple of switch ports should not be a big deal these days. EtherChannel on AIX will do exactly want you want with single IP address and the TSM clients will not

Agreed - if you want to load balance across multiple interfaces, then use Link Aggregation [on the AIX end] and bonding on the network switch end. Using a non-link aggregated interface and to simply have fail-over then define one interface as primary and the other as backup. Mahesh >>> Richa

Of course, if you just want a point-in-time snapshot of the current data while continuing to use existing management classes for all data going forward, why not kick off a backupset, eject the tape when complete, and send it off to the vault with a copy of the BA client and the OS you're using.
