Client Deployment Request

I understand it is a requirement of automatic client deployment that clients contact the server on the address as configured by the SERVERHLADDRESS.

In our environment, the SERVERHLADDRESS set on the TSM Server cannot be contacted by the client being deployed.

Sydney Waters production TSM Server has two NICs, one with a "Corporate network" IP address, the other with a "Replication network" IP address.
The two NICs are on separate 10.x.x.x subnets. It is set up this way to ensure TSM replication is separate and does not impact the "Corporate network", ie - production.

The SERVERHLADDRESS is set to the "Replication network" IP.

Clients cannot use the "Replication network", they use the "Corporate network" to contact the TSM server.

Clients using the "Replication network" are failing automatic client deployment because the SERVERHLADDRESS subnet is not correct for their address.

Manually upgrading approximately 700 clients is extremely time consuming to say the least. Automating this process would be more productive.
After all, this is what client deployment achieves.

I would like to get automatic client deployment to work with multiple NICs/IP/subnets.

If there is any other information we can provide please let me know.


Cheers
Nev

    This is critical for dual networked servers.
