Hi.

You can use storage in a VTL in an SSO fashion , which means you can share
storage amoung various Media servers. If you use it as a DSU ( or DSSU) you
cannot share the space amoung servers unless you have some kind of  common
filesystem sharing system.

Regards,
Jim

Subject: [Veritas-bu] virtual tape library vs disk storage unit

I do not understand the advantages/disadvantages between using a disk farm
as a virtual tape library as opposed to a simple disk storage unit. Which
makes better use of the available space and which is easier to
maintain...etc.
