Actually, depending on the model of the VTS there are performance issues.
Even a B18 has only about 35MB/sec throughput if I remember correctly.
Think about it for a minute.  These are ESCON connected.  ESCON has a lot of
white space.  You are lucky to see 9+ MB/sec per path.  There are only four
on the original B18 and less on other models.  BE CAREFUL.

Now, the B20 is a horse and performance is probably not an issue.  Plus it
supports 8 pathways and FICON soon if it already doesn't.

But, I am with everybody on this.  A VTS is really not a good place to send
general TSM data.
