Hi William,

Tivoli doesn't allow to use diskpools for LAN free backup. At least this
feature is not available in 4.1 version. The Tivoli implementation of SAN
allows to share tape devices. Backup data directly moves from Tivoli storage
agent to tape and metadata is stored in server through LAN. If you want to
use Diskpool then backup data has to go through LAN. May be you have to
design different LAN segment for passing backup data over LAN. This will
backup operations will not interfere normal network operations. This will
help you achieve LAN Free backup + use disk pools on server. More
