Server addresses

[msfreeman]

Hi,



I have a tsm server 5.1.5 running on aix 4.3. My question is this:



the name of the server is USORACLE1 and we backup this server as an aix client backup



the client dsm.sys file is as follows:



SErvername usoracle1

COMMmethod TCPip

TCPPort 1500

TCPClientPort 1500

TCPServeraddress usoracle1

TCPClientaddress usoracle1

nodename usoracle1

passwordaccess GENERATE

httpport 1581

resourceutilization 2

schedmode PROMPTED

schedlogretention 5

inclexcl /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/include.node



This server has 2 network cards one that resolves as USORACLE1 and one that resolves as USORACLE1_TSM (different addresses obviously) ALL remote client opt files are pointing to the USORACLE1_TSM address.



I want to make SURE that the TSM server (USORACLE1) does not send any traffic via the USORACLE1 nic but uses the USORACLE1_TSM nic?



I assumed that pointing all the remote client opt files to the USORACLE1_TSM address would make sure the TSM server did not talk too any clients via the USORACLE1 nic but on a few occasions when backups have overrrun it seems too flood our network??

I do not know if it works, but try



TCPPort aa.bb.cc.dd:1500

where aa .. dd is your ip number

two options



1) in your dsm.sys use the system internal IP (127.0.0.1)

to communicate with your server

tcpserveraddress 127.0.0.1



on SUN this is also called loopback or localhost (by using the IP you make sure

you are ok )



2) use Shared Memory to commicate with your server .

COMMmethod SHAREDMEM

SHMPORT 1510

TCPServeraddress 127.0.0.1



TO verify ,



After starting a session from your client on your server , go in the actlog of the server

look to the message ANR0406I , it will tell you which IP was used by your client to connect to the server , if it was shared memory it will tell you also.(ANR0400I)



Let me know if this is what you needed, Eric

That sounds like what i am looking for!
