Larry,

Our company currently uses Dell iSCSI MD3280i to backup all our Windows and Linux servers vIa Tivoli.
I was asked if could be used to back up our iSeries.
The thought was to expand the MD3280i and use it as a backup device as opposed to tape.
My response was there other disk based backup solutions designed to work with an iSeries.
But I did need to ask.

Paul

Used, perhaps. Supported, no chance. Given that I wouldn't touch it in a production environment.
