Hi,
I'm currently looking at consolidating a number of TSM servers onto a single system. These old TSM servers have been about for a while and service several hundred nodes between them. The nodes were all configured in a standard way with the only main difference between each group of nodes being the IP address of the server they are to communicate with (note the port numbers are the same across all the nodes).
What I'd like to do is configure the new server with a number of "virtual" ip addresses and then bind different instances of TSM on the server to each of the new virtual IP addresses. This should allow me to have numerous TSM server instances running on the same TCP/IP port number but bound, in effect to different IP's, meaning I dont have to trawl through the client estate...
I guess my big question here is : Is it possible to do this? My server will be a P-Series box running AIX 6.1.
Thanks in advance
