Hello all,

I am trying to set up LAN-free backup on my TSM 4.2.1.15 AIX server and
Solaris 8 client with no success.
I first added to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt:
   3494shared yes

Restarted the server.

> define server theclient serverpassword=xxxx hladdress=x.x.x.x lladdress=1500
> define drivemapping theclient 3494lib tapedrive1 device=/dev/rmt/1st 
> online=yes

But got an error message that says the library is not shared.

dsmadmc > update library 3494lib shared=yes

Define drivemapping now works.

My first question is:  Is the "3494shared yes" option necessary?


The client's management class is set up to backup directly to tape.
We then proceeded to set up the client and all went well.  After the first
test, LAN-free backup didn't work and LAN backup kicked in.  It mounted
the tape 301405 and backed up some files.  Now 301405 is not accessable
on the TSM server. I tried a 'move data 301405' and got an error that
the tape is not accessable.  The tape is in the 3494 libary with access=readw.
I can check it out and check it back in.
It appears that TSM server thinks that 301405 belongs to another server
that it cannot mount.

If you are running LAN-free backups, could you post your client's
dsm.sys, dsm.opt and dsmsta.opt?

server: 4.2.1.15 on AIX 4.3.3
client: 4.2.2.1 on Solaris 8
storage agent : SUN 4.2.1.14
