Hi All

Env =  Win2k
TSM Server and Storage agent 5.2.2.3
3584 mixed lto1/lto2 libraries
1 tsm server library manager , 1 tsm server library client

The 5.2 and 5.3 manual on the storage agent seems to indicate that I
should be able to do lanfree backups to a tsm server that is a library
client which I don't quite understand because surely there would be no
tape paths defined on the library client. Quotes from manual

"When the Tivoli Storage Manager server (data manager server) is also
the library manager for the devices where data is stored by the storage
agent, then the storage agent communicates requests to this Tivoli
Storage Manager server. When the Tivoli Storage Manager server (data
manager server) is another library client, then the storage agent
communicates requests for itself or the metadata server directly to the
library manager. "

"A library client requests shared library resources, such as drives or
media, from the library manager, but uses the resources independently.
The library manager coordinates the access to these resources. Data
moves over the SAN between the storage device and either the library
manager or the library client. Either the library manager or any library
client can manage the LAN-free movement of client data as long as the
client system includes a storage agent. "


 Has anyone got this working?  I have only been able to get lanfree
backups working in the normal way to the tsm server which is the library
manager.

What am I missing here?


Cheers
