Hello all,
Here is the scenario,

We have 2 physical servers with 3 instances each.   I would like to merge
them onto a single physical server.
There is no TCPPORT overlap and I don't see any major issues.
- A single physical host will inherit both IP addresses
- I'll do a DB backup/restore to move the TSM instances, then add the IP
addresses to the new host.


The only hiccup I see is that we have 30 Session-Initiated firewalled
nodes.  Our firewall security is setup at the IP level.  so that the
Source IP (TSM) -> Dest IP (NODE)

After the move, the host will have 2 interfaces to choose from to reach
these nodes and I need to make sure it chooses the correct Source IP so
that it will get through the firewall.
I talked to one of our AIX guys, and he said this is handled at the
application level, but I don't see any options in TSM to handle this. Does
anyone know of a way to do this?

Hopefully that made sense!
