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..

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 > > > > > ______________________________________________ Enviado desde Correo > Yahoo!
