You might want to take a look at the TSM Admin Guide first to make sure you
understand the concepts here: http://tinyurl.com/opoeqn

LANfree backups are still host-driven, whereby a client sends data directly
to a tape drive over the SAN rather than to the TSM Server via the LAN.
You'll need one installation of the TSM SAN Storage Agent software per
client from which you'll be performing LANfree backups.

Thanks Rechard,
Is one "Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks" server would be
enough for all windows-based, linux-based and AIX-based client?

Thanks
