Zoltan,
In my setup the TSM server B does not have access to the library of TSM
server A through the SAN.
But I would like to sent the TSM database backup from server B to the
library owned and used by TSM server A.
By server-to-server communication between the 2 TSM servers and a library
manager on TSM server A and a library client on TSM server B.
Regards,
Kurt

If I understand you correctly, the answer is yes and I do this daily.
I have 3-tape libraries (1-3493 2-3583) and they are shared by all 4-TSM
servers (2-AIX and 2-Linux) across our SAN.
1-AIX server is the Library Manager for the 3494-ATL and the other AIX
server is the LM for the 2-3583 libraries.
Now that we have our new 3592E05 drives installed in the 3494, they are
used exclusively by the AIX TSM server that owns the 2-LTO libraries
(since the LTO libraries are so problematic and constantly fail - we are
phasing out their usage to just offsite copies), not the AIX server that
owns/manages the 3494, via IP connection.
All traffic is across the SAN. The various servers intercommunication to
juggle the resources. For instance, server A will ask server B for a
drives and scratch tape. Once server B finished that part, it turns
control over to server A, who then sends the data over the SAN and tracks
the tapes it uses, in it's own database. Server B volhist shows the tape
as being in "REMOTE" status, i.e. used by another server.

[ADSM-L] setup library client manager LAN
Hello,
I've got a question about the setup of a library client and manager. Both
TSM servers are of the version 5.3.2 and run on AIX.
* The library manager would run on TSM server A that has access to the
library across the SAN.
* The library client would run on TSM server B and has no access to the
library of TSM server A across the SAN, the TSM server B has it's own
library.
Is it possible to send backups on TSM server B to the library on TSM
server
A. The backup would then go over the LAN.
In the admin guide I only find a discussion about 'Configuring SCSI
libraries shared among servers on a SAN'. Nothing is found about sharing a
library across the LAN. Is such a setup possible at all?
Thanks in advance for the responses.
Best regards,
Kurt
