We have been using NetApp storage for TSM primary disk pools for about a year 
now.  
The only problem we experienced was when we first configured the storage, and 
it did not mount automatically after a reboot.  (It does now.)
It isn't obviously slower than the attached storage, but since we must have the 
space, I haven't looked too carefully...

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,
