Hey folks- I'm a bit fuzzy on this one-- So the net of this is that you can use the Centera for a TSM storage pool and direct a client's data to the devclass? Why not just setup a cheap ATA disk pool with RAID5 instead.....or am I missing something here?
It would be great if you could use TSM to provide DR copy services for the Centera-- wherein the Centera itself would act like the TSM client, allowing it's data to be copied into TSM and therefore managed for backup, archive, etc....that would really bugger the EMC product marketing strategy, yet make a lot of sense versus 'buying 2 for backup and DR'. All feedback or clarifications will be much appreciated!

You can set up a DEVCLASS with type CENTERA and there is a piece on the IBM website for it (General Guidelines for setting up Centera with TSM DRP http://www-1.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg21155818).

I thought access to the Centerra was via a specific API EMC has written for it. To me, this implies that it would require a special program to interface from TSM to the Centerra via the TSM api client. At one time EMC told me they were working on a NFS gateway for general access to it, but I don't know if it was ever written.

Did you manage to get it working with SET ARCHIVERETENTIONPROTECTION ON and not clearing the database of backup/archive data?
