This would be interesting to hear about as we have started to look at
other NAS devices to use a TSM backup[ Target, we all know DataDomain
and Soon Protectier does the NAS mount + Dedupe, but would / could you
get better pricing or performance from a non Backup Appliance?  Netapp
Dedupes, HDS Bluearc so how well do they do and would they be cheaper
than an appliance developed and sold for the purpose of backups.

Subject: NetApp for Primary Disk Pool

Hello All,

We are considering using a NetApp V6210 with some attached shelves as a
block storage TSM primary disk pool. Do any of you have any experience
using NetApp storage as a TSM primary disk pool? If so, how was your
experience with this solution? Did you have any performance issues? How
was it with sequential workloads? Any insight that you all can provide
is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
