Hello,

Does anybody know if a single TSM server can listen on different ip-adresses
(on different nic's)  ? Or do you need to run multiple instances on one
machine ?

TSM Server Config example :

  Listening for backup data on NIC1 : 192.168.10.10:1500
  and                               on NIC2 : 10.10.10.10:1500
  + other nic for normal lan traffic


Just wondering if adding extra LAN cards in every client to increase the
total bandwith, is a
cheap alternative for SAN environments.

For example : client config with 3 NIC's :
                                NIC1 : regular client traffic
                                NIC2 : for online database backup (scheduler 1) 
 (backup lan 1)
                                NIC3 : for backup of regular file (scheduler 2) 
 (backup lan 2)

                                2 x 100 Mbit bandwith to backup

Any remarks about this ?  I agree, it isn't a good alternative, but I was
just wondering if this is possible ?

Thanks !
