TSM4VE and FCM

[DanGiles]

We have TSM4VE proxies set up and running fine. The biggest problem is the occasional consolidation issue. It doesn't happen too often any more since we've worked out the most of the kinks, but it is a pain. Once thing we want to look at is to add FlashCopy Manager to work with the NetApp storage arrays. I've seen whatever documentation is out there, and I know this particular configuration is supported, but no where can I find anything about HOW you set up and integrate the two beasties.

Anyone set this up? Even if it's for a different storage array, please share your experience and notes.

Dan,

To the best of my knowledge, FlashCopy Manager cannot be integrated or work with Netapp. APIs does not exist for this.

 

[DanGiles]

Documentation certainly implies it works with n-series/NetApp.

I see this out there from a while back. https://www-304.ibm.com/connections/blogs/tivolistorage/entry/fcmrocketnetappcmode?lang=en_gb
