I've used netapp nas as primary diskpool in the past...performance was good...depends on your network set-up ...I had a GIGE connection....Tsm could not tell the difference between network mounted and fibre connected disk in functionality...
The only problem I encountered was I forgot to turn off the snapshot feature...so inturn I filled up my nas volume... other than that all worked well... thanks Robert Burton Enterprise Storage Network Analyst Royal Bank of Canada 315 Front St West Toronto, On, M5V 3A4 ( 416-348-3849 ) + [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Mark Blunden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 8:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NAS device as a primary stg pool Hello all, I have searched the archives, but have not found anything specific on this subject. I have seen some appends regarding copy stg pools, but not primary. I am after some information from anyone has has used, or who knows anyone who has used, a NAS device as a primary storage pool. I am especially interested in the windows platform implementation, but any platform comments will be welcomed. I know there are some implications, but would like to hear ANY comments, or opinions. I am interested in issues relating to: performance 'user' connection vs 'system or service' connection IP (NAS) vs SCSI (local disk) issues permissions useability or anything else applicable... Note - I am only talking about stg pools, not database or log allocations. Thank you for any help you can give me on this. regards, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail may be privileged and/or confidential, and the sender does not waive any related rights and obligations.
