Further to my last post. TSM server 7.1 on AIX, 7.1 TSM for VE on Linux X86_64 with storage agent, currently backing up to Protectier VTL.
My customer needs a significant capacity expansion in reasonably short order. Disk is cheap, Protectier is out of the picture for non-technical reasons. The network needs a significant upgrade if traffic is to go from VMDK->vBS->TSM Server, so that is to be avoided, and traffic from vBS should flow over the SAN. The only supported file sharing is via GPFS, and I don't think I can justify the complexity and expense of that. However there are a lot of shared filesystems out there. Is anyone running Gluster, Lustre, or something similar and doing storage agent backups on that. It will obviously need to run on AIX and Linux and ideally should have minimal set up. Ideas welcome.
