RE: External disk for iSeries

Considering that you can plug your iSeries into a SAN today, what part
of external disk are you missing? Granted, I wouldn't personally use
that solution for "classic" objects (LIC, OS/400, *PGM, *FILE, etc.) I
think it's a great solution for images and other stuff you might stick
into the IFS where performance may be less of an issue.

Subject: External disk for iSeries

I've just read an article on external dasd for the iSeries and thought
that
you guys/gals might be interested.

The external disk thing will really take off when you can add non-IBM
disks
(i.e. non-IBM prices) into the system or user-asp.
Mirroring or disk-to-disk backups could become a financial possibility
for
lots of shops with smaller iSeries.
Perhaps someone somewhere in the iSeries world is already attaching
non-IBM
disks to their ASP and would like to share their experiences with those
of
us 'confined' to internal disk?
