You seem to have an AIX platform.  AIX can be configured to do load balancing 
and/or failover and several other things with thses cards.  It's an AIX thing, 
not TSM (Well, you can have some clients talk on one IP address and some on 
another if you configure each card separately).  Better way is to do at AIX 
level

I believe your Network switch you are connected to has to be configured for the 
method you setup AIX for.
See your Network team for info on this.

We have a 1Gb NIC card connected to TSm server which is running @80% of its 
capacity. Can we put another NIC card and configure AIX/TSM to do traffic load 
balance ? How does TSM know about the two cards ..is it supported configuration 
? 

Appreciate any ideas ?

Thanks,
Ashok
