When you configure LAN-free data movement, you must register client nodes and provide
policy information about client nodes. You can also restrict when a client node uses a LAN-free
path.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to verify client node information:
-
Identify the client node or nodes that uses the storage agent.
In a typical environment, a storage agent is used only by the client node that is on the same
system as the storage agent. However, you can configure two or more client nodes to use the same
storage agent.
-
Verify that the nodes are registered. If they are not registered, you must register them.
-
Verify the policy information for the nodes.
The copy group for backup and archive must point to a storage pool that has a LAN-free path
for a particular storage agent. You define drive LAN-free paths and make them available for the
storage pool. To view the destinations that are capable of LAN-free data movement, you can issue the
VALIDATE LANFREE command on the server.
-
After you verify the registration and policy information for the nodes, you can place
restrictions on when a node can use the LAN-free path.
The node attributes
DATAWRITEPATH and
DATAREADPATH
determine the restriction that is placed on the node:
