Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone can offer any advise about the following:-

We have a single TSM server with a gigabit interface. (x.x.1.102)

The major backup client is a Solaris machine running four Lotus Domino server 
instances, each instance allocated it's own port on a quad ethernet card.

We have four TSM nodes registered for this client and run four Scheduler 
services, one for each Domino instance. We would like to see each client backed 
up via it's own port on the quad ethernet, however as there is only one TSM 
server address to connect to, Solaris routes all the traffic via the same 
default interface.

Whichever backup is running Solaris always returns the same default route to 
the TSM server and all four nodes backup via the same port.

This has an affect on performance as all the clients need to back up at the 
same time due to operational requirements.

I know that the client option TCPCLIENTADDRESS will tell the TSM server to 
contact the client on a specific IP address but this just seems to be for 
server -> client traffic.

Is there also a way of directing the backup traffic via a specific client 
interface instead of using the default route as specified by the Soalris O/S?

Thanks for your help

Jon
