I have an open APAR on this problem, however I thought I'd share it with the list.
A customer reported the problem described below which seemed to indicate the TSM CLIENT system attempted to perform a LANFREE restore of files which were in the TSM Server disk storage pool. The system has been configured for LAN FREE tape access but was never configured to use sanergy or any other tool for lan free disk pool access (devclass=DISK, not sequential FILE). Tivoli suggested setting 'lan free = no' in the client options before any attempt to restore, however the real solution would be to convince the client that the TAPES can be accessed LANFREE but not the disk pool. What configuration changes can I make to ensure it does not attempt to perform LAN FREE restore from a disk storage pool???????? Please note that is was only after an upgrade from 4.2.0.1 to 4.2.3.3. There was never any problem restoring data with 4.2.0.1 Cheers.
