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

Enablelanfree

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 Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Managed System for SAN Storage Agent User's Guide, GC32-0785.

Notes:

  1. 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.

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.
