Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Lanfreecommmethod

Authorized User

The lanfreecommmethod option specifies the communications protocol between the Tivoli Storage Manager client and Storage Agent. This enables processing between the client and the SAN-attached storage device.

Use the lanfreeshmport to specify the Shared Memory port number where the Storage Agent is listening. See Lanfreeshmport for more information

Supported Clients

This option is valid for AIX, AIX 5L, HP-UX, and Solaris clients only.

Attention: The lanfreecommmethod 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.

Options File

Place this option in the client system options file dsm.sys within a server stanza.

Syntax

>>-LANFREECommmethod- commmethod-------------------------------><
 
 

Parameters

commmethod
Specifies the supported protocol for your Tivoli Storage Manager client:

TCPip
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communication method.

Use the lanfreetcpport to specify the TCP/IP port number where the Storage Agent is listening. See Lanfreetcpport for more information. For AIX, AIX 5L, and HP-UX root users, the Shared Memory communication method is the default and TCP/IP is optional. AIX, AIX 5L, and HP-UX non-root users can only use the TCP/IP communication method. Solaris root and non-root users can only use the TCP/IP communication method.

SHAREdmem
Use the Shared Memory communication method when the client and server are running on the same system. Shared Memory provides better performance than the TCP/IP protocol. This is the default communication method for AIX, AIX 5L, and HP-UX root users. When specifying this communications method on AIX, the backup-archive client user must be logged in as root or have the same user ID as the process running the Storage Agent. AIX, AIX 5L, and HP-UX non-root users must use the default TCP/IP communication method and cannot use the Shared Memory communication method. See Commmethod for logon restrictions when using this communication method.

Examples

Options file:
lanfreec tcp

Command line:
-lanfreec=tcp

This option is valid only on the initial command line. It is not valid in interactive mode.
