Types of Configurations for Server-Free Data Movement

Most of the planning required to implement server-free data movement operations is related to device configuration. Please refer to the hardware specifications of your device for the available options.

Tivoli Storage Manager allows two supported SAN configurations for server-free data movement operations:

Arbitrated Loop
In an arbitrated loop configuration, the Fibre Channel direct-attached devices and the server communicate with the data mover device through a SAN hub.

Switched Fabric
In a switched fabric configuration, the Fibre Channel direct-attached devices and the server communicate with the data mover device through a SAN switch.
