We just moved some of our LANFree W2K and W2K3 clients from one datacenter to
another. The SAN is still in the old datacenter, to LANFree from those clients
is currently impossible (without additional hardware). I instructed the move
team to stop, and disable the StorageAgent service on those machines that are
moving, so the APIs use the default LAN path without changing any .opt files.
Once the SAN is moved to the new datacenter, all we have to do is start the
StorageAgent services, and life will (should) be good, again.

Depends on when the storage agent fails. If it fails during backup/restore
processing, the DB/2 backup(or restore) will fail. If it fails and then the
DB/2 process starts, yes it will fail-over to LAN functionality.

Re: DB2 LANFree reconfiguration to use LAN
Daniel (and Jeroen) - thanks for the advice.
One further thought:
If, for example, the StorageAgent failed or was disabled in Services,
wouldn't the API default to the LAN path on finding the LANFree route
unavailable?

Yes, you will need to restart DB2 as it only reads the configuration file
during startup

DB2 LANFree reconfiguration to use LAN
Guys,
We're backing up DB2 v7 (WinNT) via LANFree to a TSM 4.2 server on AIX.
All
has been relatively fine and dandy. However, we're now due to upgrade the
TSM server to v5.2 and must therefore revert to LAN backups for this DB2
instance.
Does anyone know whether a db2stop/db2start is required to pick up the
change from ENABLELANFREE YES to ENABLELANFREE NO in the api dsm.opt?
TIA
Matt Thomas
