TSM and protocol converters
2002-08-16 15:05:07
I'm spec'ing a new TSM server. To avoid having to spend a fortune on a
huge server just to get the I/O slots I need to support HV Diff SCSI, I'm
thinking of using protocol converters to reduce the number of I/O slots in
the new server.
In other words, the server would provide Fibre Channel or Gigabit E or
even LV Diff SCSi but I would connect my existing libraries via their HV
Diff SCSI interfaces, with the protocol converter in the middle.
Assuming this is technically feasible (and I know there are FC to SCSI
converters) would TSM work in such an arrangement? What would change
relative to simply plugging in a SCSI cable into the server as I have now?
Server is "pSeries" or RS/6000; TSM is currently 4.1 but the new server
would (very soon) enter service at 5.1.
