Configuring multiple clients to use the same storage agent

You can configure two or more clients to use the same storage agent.

To configure the clients:

• If the clients are on the same system as the storage agent, set the appropriate options and values in the client dsm.sys file.
• If the clients are on the same system as the storage agent, set the appropriate options and values in the dsm.opt file.
• If the clients are not on the same system as the storage agent, set the following options with the appropriate values:
  • LANFREECOMMMETHOD TCPIP
  • LANFREETCPSERVERADDRESS

    Specify the TCP/IP address of the system 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.
