JR, Another method of determining if lan-free is working is to perform a "query mount" on the lan-free client. You can do this from the TSM server console using server to server communications to the client: "storageagentname: q mount"
The data being restored must be accessable from the storage agent. It may be that after backup, the data was migrated to devices not accessable to the storage agent.

Boldness has genius, power and magic. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of JR Trimark Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 10:34 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] JR-LAn-Free Restore SERVER TSM 5.5 AIX 5.3.08 CLIENT TSM 64bit Client 5.5.0.6 TSM TDPO 5.5.1.0 TSM Storage Agent 5.5.1.1 AIX 5.3.08 Currently we are using RMAN with TSM TDPO and LAN-Free clients to backup our Oracle 10G database. This has been confirmed by looking through the logs, monitoring network/SAN traffic and running TSM commands from the client/server. When we do a restore using the same configuration that was used for the LAN-Free backup, the data for the restore goes over the network instead of the SAN. I have looked through the logs and have been unable to find any messages stating that LAN-Free couldn't be used. Aside from updating the LAN-Free node DATAREADPATH and DATAWRITEPATH attributes to LANFree (currently it is set to Any), has anyone else seen this issue before?
