Tivoli Storage Manager supports multiple network adapters that let an administrator specify one or more communication methods. This support lets an administrator increase server throughput by providing multiple connections to the same network or serve several physically distinct networks with the same server.
With the exception of shared memory, the server communication methods support multiple network adapters. Protocols differ in the way the use of multiple adapters is specified.
No additional server configuration is required for TCP/IP support of multiple adapters. Each of the adapters must be set up with a separate TCP/IP address. Clients are then provided with one of the addresses for their client options file. The server will accept sessions from each of the adapters. The session limit is placed on the accumulated count from all of the adapters.
