I couldn't see the original posting in this thread, but I'm interested - the
only TSM statement I could find in the docs which looks like it might be
NFS-related was:

"Tivoli Storage Manager supports the use of remote file systems or drives
for reading and writing storage pool data, database backups, and other data
operations. Remote file systems in particular may report successful writes,
even after being configured for synchronous operations. This mode of
operation causes data integrity issues if the file system can fail after
reporting a successful write. Check with the vendor of your file system to
ensure that flushes are performed to nonvolatile storage in a synchronous
manner."

(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmai
xn.doc/anragd5582.htm#disksub1020)

Anyone else seen anything else that addresses NFS support specifically?

We don't do this . . .we don't even have a DD (or any other dedup system).
But my team lead went to a TSM users group meeting were she found several
companies doing NFS to a DD.

Ever get an answer to this one Dale.

I guess it wouldn't bode to well for DD if IBM came right out and stated
that they don't support it?

Hmm
