That depends on what you expect from your vtl.

Do you currently have deduplication at that level?  Can you afford disk to 
replace that storage, are you prepared to manage the disk storage?

I know, there's already some previous post on this but I want your opinions on 
our choice to make.


Our IBM VTL is out of support next april. So we have to decide if we will buy a 
new one or buy more direct attach disk pool in our TSM server?

We have some Oracle server who use the VTL and one storage agent on the other 
side of the firewall.

1) Is it a good idee to configure disk device from the TSM server to replace 
the VTL for those storage agent?

2) What is the pros and cons for a new VTL

3) what will be th pros an cons for adding a lot of disk pool direct attach in 
TSM server.

Any comment will be appreciated?
