I was recently visited by a man from Tivoli who said this. I have not
confirmed this information.
He told me that this was the problem in current Tivoli Configuration, and it
would be fixed in version 5.
Tivoli has been known to say that this or that isn?t posible but when you
often find things to work even though tivoli
sais it?s not supported, like the newest version of Oracle isn?t supported
by tivoli but it works because oracle uses the same rman.
So i do not have any hard evidence to back up my statement, exept the words
of a man from Tivoli.
If someone has tested this please let us know.

Petur,
you say that restores with SAN agent go through LAN regardles of
configuration. Is it true???
According to doc, restores should also go through SAN. Or is it something
special with Connectrix?
Or am I missing something?

hi Denis
if you ask for my opinion i do not recomend lanfree backups, why thats
spimle when you do a restore it dosn?t matter if your using san or not
youre
restore data always goes trough the lan. and that?s bad, then you have
lost
75% of your reason to have lanfree backups, because what is here that
relay
matters. It is your restore time, and that will stay exacly the same.
This bug will not be fixed until TSM V 5.1 comes out.

Subject: LANFREE Backups - Feedback?
Hello,
We are currently evaluating the implementation of lanfree backups in our
environment.
I understand the conceptual benefits of sending data across the SAN vs.
the
LAN/WAN but
am concerned with compatibility issues with our IBM TSM Environment and
EMC
Connectrix Environment.
Has anybody implemented LANFREE in a similar environment?
Can anybody give some example or insight to real life advantages to
implementing LANFREE backups?
Are there any tape drive contention issues when a drive gets allocated to
a
'LANFREE' backup?
How does TSM manage 'LANFREE' tapes? Does it dedicate a tape to a client
(like collocation) or will other
clients have access to write data to the same volser?
How about attaching a 3590 FC-AL to a EMC Connectrix Fabric?
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
TSM Environment:
1 H50, AIX 4.3.3 TSM 3.7 - SSA Disk
3494 2 Frames 4 Scsi Drives

1 H80, AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.1 - SSA Disk

SAN Environment:
EMC Symmetrix ( 8730, 8830, 4 3930's, 3700 )
EMC Connectrix - 12 Switches
Client/Server Environment:
600 + Servers (HPUX, Solaris, NT, Win2K)
approx 200 EMC SAN attached. (No BCV's used or SRDF.. yet)
Thanks in advance.
