Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager for LAN-free Data Movement

You are able to configure the Tivoli Storage Manager client and server so that the client, through a storage agent, can move its data directly to storage on a SAN. This function, called LAN-free data movement, is provided by the Managed System for SAN feature. As part of the configuraion, a storage agent is installed on the client system. Tivoli Storage Manager supports both tape libraries and FILE libraries. This feature will support SCSI, 349X, and ACSLS libraries.

The configuration procedure you follow will depend on the type of environment you implement, however in all cases you must do the following:

  1. Install and configure the client.
  2. Install and configure the storage agent.
  3. Configure the libraries for LAN-free data movment.
  4. Define the libraries and associated paths.
  5. Define associated devices and their paths.
  6. Configure the server for use with the storage agent.
