Hi, I read about gpfs possibilities and would be happy use only it :) But it's more complex. I need make three-level storage system (fc disks-fata disks-tape). First level (fc-disk pool) contains user's data. Obsolescent data must migrate to second level (fata-disk pool), and then (if needed) to tapes. All data must be transmitted over SAN. For all systems data-flow will be transparent, and by user request data must return to first level stg pool.
How i see that solution. HSM decides transparent data migration task. TSM fo SAN can write only to libraries, so SANergy helps transfer data to disks (from fc-disks to fata disks and backwards). And at end TSM for SAN is responsible for transmitting data to tapes (if need send it from client) and back. But i don't know - will this work? :) In fact, intend using AIX (HACMP) for TSM server and Client systems. As i know SANergy may works well on AIX. :) But now, I have only linux and windows systems on ESX preparing demo-solution, and also all issues and problems connected with change of platform :). ____________________________ Best Regards, Khramov Gennadiy [email protected] Remco Post <[email protected]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> 19.05.2009 13:30 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject Re: [ADSM-L] SANergy MDC on Linux (CentOS) Hi, I think you'll learn that GPFS provides everything SANergy does, plus reliability and some more neat features. I don't think you'll actually need the SANergy MDC to do what you want to do. I have a very strong opinion on SANergy, and that is that you don't want to use it, not even if your life depended on it (and if your life does depend on sanergy, boy, you're in trouble ;-)). Anyway, we might be better able to help you if you'd tell us what your final goal (in terms of functionality) is.
