Hello all,
We are currently evaluating TSM for use in our environment (expected
version to be 5.3.x on Linux or Solaris) against Veritas NetBackup.
Backup via the SAN (i.e. LAN-Free) is crucial to us. Backing up
directly to disk (via SAN) is also a high priority. I know to make this
happen in TSM we must use SANergy. I know in the past this product had
a mixed reception. I was hoping I might hear from some organizations
who have used/are using it now for disk-based, SAN-pathed backups. Is
SANergy reliable/stable, especially when processing hundreds of GB's
nightly? I searched the ADSM.ORG archives, but found little discussion
of SANergy that was less than years old. Also, the Redbook for it is 4+
years old as well. The IBM web site also seems to be reluctant to offer
information on SANergy. I get the feeling it is going away... perhaps
because of IBM's SAN FS? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanx!
