Our V2X2 has fast response time (0.2ms - 8ms) but no PAV. Fully loaded packs become sluggish under heavy i/o. I wish we had the V2Xf with PAV. ________ SteveBui

We are looking at the StorageTek 'V series' DASD as a possible upgrade path, We are currently one local and one remote 2105-800 Shark interconnected with PPRC XD. We are heavy PAV and some Flashcopy II. The other site is currently inactive (BR only), but our strategic direction is twin sites, each being the other's offsite backup. Total farm size 2-4 tb. We must have the sub millisecond response time we now enjoy with the Shark. And the Sharks' reliability/fault tolerance has been important. Any thoughts, suggestions, words of wisdom? And experiences you would be willing to share? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
