TSM and firewalls.

Hello,

I've searched the Tivoli Site but cannot find a thing :-(
Can someone direct me to the README file, website or whatever so that I
can find more details about the following Apar:


    Apar IC27212
    ****************************************************************
     * USERS AFFECTED: All TSM Clients*
     ****************************************************************
     * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Tivoli Storage Manager Client does not*
     * support the use of a firewall in the environment. When the *
     * client connects to the assigned port, the server rolls the *
     * client over to another random port to keep the initial port*
     * open for additional communication. Oncethe client is on *
     * another port, communication is severed unless the next*
     * selected port happens to be open in the firewall as well.*
     ***************************************************************
     * RECOMMENDATION: It should be documented that TSM does not *
     * support access through a firewall.*
     ***************************************************************
     PROBLEM CONCLUSION: The following statement has been documented
     in the readmes for all TSM clients:
     "The TSM clients work in conjunction with a TSM server to which
     they have access. Currently, TSM does not support the use of a
     firewall beween the server and the client."

TIA,

Gwen Garcia
