In the past there were two different clients: MgSysLAN (B/A Client only)
and MgSysSAN (B/A Client + Storage Agent). For the server you will need
Library Sharing feature.
Since ITSM v5.1 the licensing was modified:
B/A Client is part of either IBM TSM or ITSM Extended Edition. To get
Storage Agent you need ITSM for SAN license on top of ITSM or ITSM XE
license.
Library Sharing now is not a separately licenseable feature but is part of
ITSM Extended Edition.

Thus you need ITSM XE processors for both client and server + ITSM for SAN
processors for the client. You cannot get "lan-free client", you get
"lan-free" (ITSM for SAN) on top of "client" (ITSM XE). Plus your server
needs to be licensed for ITSM XE, and because server and client cannot
intermix ITSM and ITSM XE, the client has to be ITSM XE.

        Subject:        Upgrade & LAN FREE Licensing Question


In the process of bringing a SAN into my environment.  I know I need a lan
free client but is there a new piece that I need to purchase for the TSM
server side?  Also is the lan free client the only piece that I need for
the
client side or does it require a backup client?

Thanks,
