Setting the LAN-free destination

The destination for data must be a LAN-free capable storage pool.

Procedure

Set a LAN-free destination by completing the following steps:

  1. Define a copy group with a destination to the LAN-free capable storage pool that you created when you configured the SAN drives.
    For example:
    define copygroup sandirect sandirectpolicy sandirectdefmft
    type=backup destination=storage_pool_name
    Note: If you are using a hierarchical storage management (HSM) client that is configured for LAN-free data movement, set the management class (not the copy group) to a LAN-free capable storage pool.
  2. Activate the policy set.
    For example:
    activate policyset sandirect sandirectpolicy

What to do next

Remember: If you decide not to use the default management class for the SAN drives, you must create a new management class. Clients that use SAN drives need an include statement to bind their files to the new management class.
