Good afternoon,


 Well we have finally made the jump. We will be moving our TSM server off
of OS/390 to AIX in the near future. My question has to do with network
connectivity and redundancy.

 In our new TSM environment we will be using 2 GIG connections into our
network to a single TSM image and ideally we like to have TSM balance
backup load over each card. What we are looking for is away to build
redundancy. We would like to put 1/2 of out clients on one gig card (TSMA)
and the other 1/2 on the second card (TSMB). Now ideally if TSMA were to
fail we would like to get all of the clients using that card to
automatically begin to use the TSMB card and visa-versa.

 Our network group thinks that this can be done but I was wondering if
anyone is currently doing something like this and if so a brief description
of how.
