Yes, when I mentioned block storage I was referring to FC connectivity to the 
NetApp for the TSM server. Also, it should be noted that we plan to use native 
TSM deduplication as well. The reason for this is that we use TSM for VE and 
want to speed up our periodic full backups by using client side dedupe. Do any 
of you see any potential pitfalls with this use case?

Hello All,

We are considering using a NetApp V6210 with some attached shelves as a block 
storage TSM primary disk pool. Do any of you have any experience using NetApp 
storage as a TSM primary disk pool? If so, how was your experience with this 
solution? Did you have any performance issues? How was it with sequential 
workloads? Any insight that you all can provide is greatly appreciated.
