Chapter 2. Building a highly available Tivoli Storage Manager cluster environment 17
The Tivoli Storage Manager V5.3 addresses most of the device reserve
challenges; however, this is currently limited to the AIX server platform only. In

resets within the starting scripts.
When planning the SAN, we will build redundancy into the fabrics, allowing for

fabrics, and will also create separate aliases and zones each device separately.
Our intent with this design is to isolate bus or device reset activity, as well as
limiting access to the resources, to only those host systems which require that ...
