Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
Authorized User
The enablelanfree option specifies whether to enable an
available LAN-Free path to a storage area network (SAN) attached storage
device. A LAN-Free path allows backup, restore, archive, and retrieve
processing between the Tivoli Storage Manager client and the SAN-attached
storage device.
To support LAN-Free data movement you must install and configure the Tivoli
Storage Manager Managed System for SAN Storage Agent on the client
workstation. For more information, refer to the following
publications:
- Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX Managed System for SAN Storage Agent
User's Guide, GC32-0771
- Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Managed System for SAN Storage
Agent User's Guide, GC32-0781
- Tivoli Storage Manager for HP-UX Managed System for SAN Storage Agent
User's Guide, GC32-0727
Notes:
- If you place the enablelanfree option in the client option file
(dsm.opt), but zero (0) bytes were transferred through the
SAN during an operation, ensure that you bind the data to a lanfree enabled
management class.
- The enablelanfree option is not valid if HSM is
installed. See Tivoli Space Manager for Unix Using the
Hierarchical Storage Management Clients, GC32-0794 for more
information.
To specify a communication protocol between the Tivoli Storage Manager
client and Storage Agent, see Lanfreecommmethod for more information.
- Note:
- To restore backup sets in a SAN environment, see Restore Backupset for more information.
