LAN-free data movement
Running Data Protection for Exchange Server in a LAN-free environment means that data can be directly sent to storage devices.
When you implement a LAN-free environment, data bypasses potential network congestion. However, you must be properly equipped to operate in a LAN-free environment. For more information about setting up a LAN-free environment, see LAN-free client-data backup: Scenario.
In addition to specific LAN-free requirements, you must specify the following options. For VSS
backups, specify these options in the backup-archive client options file.
- enablelanfree yes
- This option specifies whether to enable an available LAN-free path.
- lanfreecommmethod
- Specifies a communication protocol.
- lanfreetcpport
- Specifies the TCP/IP port number where the IBM Storage Protect™ Storage Agent is listening.
- lanfreetcpserveraddress
- Specifies the TCP/IP address for the IBM Storage Protect Storage Agent.
