Hi Etienne,
it is easy. I suppose you have a server with disk capacity, which you want
use for TSM to store data. I do not know if that remote machine is Windows
or Unix system. It is possible to use both of them (I actually worked only
with Windows system but with NFS in Unix it should be also possible).
On Windows system you create shared directory, which TSM server will use
for file volumes. You must assign access proper rights to this share for
user, under which TSM server is running, so that TSM server can access this
directory and create and delete files.
Let say for example that your remote machine is named "server1" and shared
directory is named "data".
If TSM server have proper access rights, you can create storage pool on
this shared directory like this:
define devclass remotefile devt=file maxcap=200M directory=\\server1\data
define stg filestg remotefile maxscr=100
You have to be carefull about setting maxscr parameter. This parameter
depends on maxcap parameter from device class. If you multiply this two
number, the result should not be greater than storage capacity you have
available on remote server (in my example I assume you have 20 GB).
If you have Unix machine, you can do the same steps except that in devclass
definition for directory parameter you use your NFS mount directory.
And that is all.
Hope this helps

Ing. Jozef Zatko,
Can you share the steps to achieve this remote storage pool.
Thanks,

Hi Etienne,
you can use remote disks for file device class. I am not sure about 5.1
version, but I did this on 4.2 version and it worked fine.
I had problems with using disk device class on remote disks, but file
device class worked for me.
You can even use UNC names for file volumes (it is better than using drive
mapping, bacause you do not need to be logged in to console on TSM server)

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to have a storage pool on a remote
machine without installing TSM on it. Typically, what I wan't to do is to
use space on a remote server to have a disk or a file storage pool on it. I
tried with a file device class and it allows only local disks. A disk
devices class goes a little further, but when it tries to format the
volume, there's an error. One possibility would be to create a local file
storage pool and then to copy the files on the remote servers and put the
file volumes in offline state, or something like that, but is there
something easier ?
I tried that with TSM 5.1.5
