Nice one. I was also curious, and we have some info to share too. 1. For a short term temporary solution we chose Diligent Virtual Tape Facility for Open including ProtecTIER. 2. Hmmm. Not quite. We were promised better data deduplication values, but it is partly our own fault, due to client compression. Stability needs work as well. 3. We are doing it over, (1. stated it was temp) and we chose a crossplatform solution for z/OS and TSM and Commvault Galaxy. 4. Yes, The Diligent VTL is shared among multiple TSM servers and a Commvault Galaxy server. No problems here. 5. The Diligent VTL isn't replicated, we do that using copypools. The new solution has a builtin data replication (realtime mirror) and dual-save option, so we have a dual-redundant virtual library, and we do no longer need copypools. All carts are simultaneously written at at least two sites. This is the Fijutsu-Siemens' CentricStore.
Greets, Ilja Coolen -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Gill, Geoffrey L. Verzonden: donderdag 29 maart 2007 23:06 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: for those using VTL We have a number of vendors coming in with their wares and I was wondering if those who use a VTL might pass on some info. As you all know when you're in these types of sales pitches you always hear how great theirs are and that nobody else can do what they do. My questions are below. 1. What VTL did you choose? 2. Is it all they said it would be? 3. If you do it over again would you choose differently and if so which one? This could also relate to wishing a current product was out at the time you made your decision. 4. Is anyone using their VTL in a multi-system environment where you have either more than 1 TSM server and/or both TSM 'AND' Netbackup? 5. Is anyone replicating their VTL to a DR site? If so are you experiencing any issues there? I understand there is going to be many answers here but I'd prefer to get the lowdown on how things work from those that are using them and not from someone who tells me how it's going to work.
