From the TSM 5.5 announcement letter:

LAN-free to disk support is available for specific IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager systems, which are listed on the product Web pages.
The customer's use of Tivoli SANergy components, included with IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks, is limited to use
of LAN-free backup and restore to disk, in conjunction with its
licensed use of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area
Networks. The Tivoli SANergy components included with IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks may not be used for any
other purpose.


Amazing, that IBM hasn't killed of this piece of *&^(*& they call a
shared filesystem. Even if they payed me to use it install it or
torture a customer with it, it's not worth it.

Anyway, if you wait a few month, lanfree to disk will support GPFS and
probably other shared filesystems.... And of course, this might be the
place where VTL solutions might play a role....

SANergy is a separate license, separately purchased.

I don't know if I would assume that implies a Sanergy license for the
tsm
server.

Awesome.  So you CAN back up to tape or disk with the storage agent,
correct?  (without buying anything additional)

Has anyone done this?

I looked on the system where we store all our TSM files, and I see a
Sanergy file in the dir I keep the 5.4.0 Storage Agents.  I probably
downloaded it when I downloaded the storageagents from Passport
Advantage.

You probably think that because it is - 2nd to last bullet here:

om.ibm.itsmagent.doc/toc.xml



That same blurb is there back to TSM 5.3, so it's been there for a
while..

Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager".

I have this thought in the back of my mind - that  the Storage Agent
license comes with a SANergy license.  I'm not sure why I thinkk
that . . .
