Re: Client node connections to a server inside a firewall

Hi Moses,

Unfortunately TSM 5.1 does not allow you to execute server initiated
schedules, you have to upgrade to 5.2. Then you only need to add option
"sessioninitiation serveronly" in your client dsm.sys and to update your
client definition on TSM server (new fields in 5.2) to tell him he
should initiate the session, and eventually which TCP port will be used
...
Note that this kind of setup will only be working for BA client
scheduled tasks, not for API based backups, and that it also disables
use of command line, GUI and web GUI clients. 
Hope it helped ...

Hi,
        We are using TSM backup client 5.1.6 and TSM server for windows
5.1 and am interested to find out if it is possible for the server to
contact the clients when the server is situated behind a fire wall. any
help would be gratefully received.
