Validating your LAN-free configuration
After you configure an IBM Storage Protect client for LAN-free data movement, you can verify the configuration and server definitions by using the VALIDATE LANFREE command.
About this task
The VALIDATE LANFREE command allows you to determine which destinations for a node that is using a specific storage agent are capable of LAN-free data movement. The command output can also help identify if there is a problem with an existing LAN-free configuration. You can evaluate the policy, storage pool, and path definitions for a node and storage agent that the node is using to ensure that an operation is working properly.
Procedure
Determine whether a client node has a problem with its LAN-free configuration by issuing the
VALIDATE LANFREE command. For example, if the client node FRED is using the
storage agent FRED_STA, issue the following command:
validate lanfree fred fred_staThe results help you to identify adjustments that might be needed in the storage
configuration or policies. The output displays which management class destinations for a specific
operation type are not capable of LAN-free data transfers. It also reports the total number of
LAN-free destinations.
