I've used netapp nas as primary diskpool in the past...performance was
good...depends on your network set-up ...I had a GIGE connection....Tsm
could not tell the difference between network mounted and fibre connected
disk in functionality...
The only problem I encountered was I forgot to turn off the snapshot
feature...so inturn I filled up my nas volume...
other than that all worked well...
thanks

Subject: NAS device as a primary stg pool
Hello all,
I have searched the archives, but have not found anything specific on this
subject.
I have seen some appends regarding copy stg pools, but not primary.
I am after some information from anyone has has used, or who knows anyone
who has used, a NAS device as a primary storage pool. I am especially
interested
in the windows platform implementation, but any platform comments will be
welcomed.
I know there are some implications, but would like to hear ANY comments, or
opinions.
I am interested in issues relating to:
performance
'user' connection vs 'system or service' connection
IP (NAS) vs SCSI (local disk) issues
permissions
useability
or anything else applicable...
Note - I am only talking about stg pools, not database or log allocations.
Thank you for any help you can give me on this.
regards,
Mark
