If you create separate subnet/VLAN for backups it is just a matter of
setting the address in dsm.sys.

example:
let say your primary network is 192.168.11.0, TSM server is 192.168.1.3
and TSM client node is 192.168.11.20
let new "backups" VLAN is 172.17.2.0, server is 172.17.2.3 and node is
172.17.2.20
now simple change in dsm.sys stanza should do the trick - change
"tcpserver address 192.168.11.3" to "tcpserveraddress 172.17.2.3". TCP
routing will direct outgoing traffic to subnet 172.17.2.0 through adapter
with address 172.17.2.20 while allowing application client sessions
through main adapter.

        Subject:        server access through different network card (ipadres)


hi all,


server adsm 3.1 on AIX 4.3.3 ML 10
client tsm4.1 on AIX 4.3.3 ML 10

This client has been having problems with its network. every night during
the backup the costumers cannot access their databases because the network
card cant handle the load.
Now The idea is to use a second networkcard solely for TSM. Now I cant
find
anywhere how I can make TSM understand to access through the other
networkcard as its always accesses the client on clientname and not IP
adres.
And as far as ive seen tsm accesses through the primary IP adres.


does anyone know how to do this? and if its actually possible?
I must have it solved by tonight.
