I have an open APAR on this problem, however I thought I'd share it with
the list.


A customer reported the problem described below which seemed to
indicate the TSM CLIENT system attempted to perform a LANFREE
restore of files which were in the TSM Server disk storage pool.

The system has been configured for LAN FREE tape access but was
never configured to use sanergy or any other tool for lan free
disk pool access (devclass=DISK, not sequential FILE).

Tivoli suggested setting 'lan free = no' in the client options
before any attempt to restore, however the real solution would be
to convince the client that the TAPES can be accessed LANFREE but
not the disk pool.

What configuration changes can I make to ensure it does not attempt
to perform LAN FREE restore from a disk storage pool????????

Please note that is was only after an upgrade from 4.2.0.1 to 4.2.3.3.
There was never any problem restoring data with 4.2.0.1

Cheers.

Hi David,
Was trying to restore a file backup on 18-feb-2003
DSM client says DATA NOT AVAILABLE ON SERVER

Some other files backup on the same day were restoreable ....

Did audit volumes ... look ok
On the SMIT side, the volumes look ok
No errpt errors

Server actlog say
