Yes, I too have noticed this and it is something to keep in mind. At the same time, I think almost everybody using this pool will be using SSD's for the database the impact will be overseeable. But t

Hi Stefan! Our database is on SSD in an IBM V3700, but the time needed for a del filespace can be significant though. But I totally agree, everyone who is using file device classes or expensive backe

We currently use DataDomains. With a DD it dedups what it can, then compresses the rest. Does TSM also try and compress what is leftover after dedup? Hi Stefan! Our database is on SSD in an IBM V370

At the most recent levels of TSM, it both dedups and compresses but make sure you are at a level that does both. There was a level that only did dedup but not compression. David We currently use Data

I can assure you that compression was NOT part of the earlier releases on 7.1.5 on AIX. I had to painfully tear down a system we were trying to convert to because compression was not included in the
To be clear... Server-side inline compression shipped in 7.1.5 (March) however the "client-side" LZ4 compression piece of this shipped in 7.1.6 (June). Del -- "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L AT VM.

I bled hard and installed 7.1.5 while the paint was wet. Compression was available on AIX concurrently with all other releases. WAN acceleration, on the other hand, is not. Booo! ____________________
