Hello Bill, 

As other have posted, TSM should handle the backups without problems related to 
the use of different network domains. 

But. You might want to look at why there are different domains. Might you 
expect that in the future that one or more of the 3 sister companies might be 
sold or split off totally. 
If so you might want to set up your tsm domains, storage pools etc, so that the 
sister companies do not share resources such as tapes.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Backing up nodes in a different Network Domain

 


Hi all,
 
It's a possibility that our 3 sister companies on the same site currently 
sharing
the same LAN maybe split into 3 network domains using Vlans and firewalls.
 
 All 3 Domains will somehow, have access to central services like internet, 
accounting applications, etc.
 
We intend to retain the one TSM Server that we have. 
 
If the TSM Server is say in Domain A, is it possible to backup clients in 
domains B and C ?
 
Are there any drawbacks ?
 
TSM Server Windows V5.4.2.0
 
Many Thanks
 
Bill
