The node attributes DATAREADPATH and DATAWRITEPATH determine the
restriction placed on the node. You can restrict a node to use only the LAN-free
path on backup and archive (DATAWRITEPATH), and the LAN path on restore
and retrieve (DATAREADPATH). Note that such a restriction can fail a backup
or archive operation if the LAN-free path is unavailable. Consult the
Administrator’s Reference for more information regarding these attributes.
v You can configure more than one client to use the same storage agent:
– If the clients reside on the same system as the storage agent, set the
appropriate options and values in the client dsm.sys file.
– If the clients do not reside on the same system as the storage agent, set the
following options with the appropriate values:
- LANFREECOMMMETHOD TCPIP
- LANFREETCPSERVERADDRESS
Specify the TCP/IP address for the machine where the storage agent is
installed.
- LANFREETCPPORT
Specify the same TCP/IP port address as specified by the TCPPORT option
in the storage agent options file, dsmsta.opt.
