IIRC data is compressed when written to the VTS cache and copied (still compressed) to the back end.
Follow up - Is this 'standard' IDRC compression? -----Original Message----- Victor Zhang Hello list, I have a dumb question regarding logical volumes written to IBM's VTS, is the data compressed or not? IBM recently announced next generation of VTS:TS7700, from its production description, only usable capacity(raw disk capactiy - meta data overhead).When it is talking about backend tape drives, it only mentions that TS1120 or 3592 can compress data at a ratio of about 3:1. That raises my confustion: is data written to VTS cache compressed or not? Thanks in advance.
