Long time since my last post...

Are there any CMoD iSeries customers who are storing data on an external 
storage server? SAN/NAS/Shark? We currently have this working, but we are 
concerned with support issues with IBM and Netapp. What we want to do is 
migrate all of our CMoD data off a LAN-attached 3995 to disk of some sort. 


According to Netapp's website: http://tinyurl.com/a6p4j they have a 
partnership with IBM to be a storage provider for DB2 CM. But let me say 
that it's like pulling teeth to get IBM CMoD tech support to claim 
ownership of this. When we talk to them about mounting the network file 
system they claim to have no clue about this. Cost-wise, it is about 
$1,200 for a 144GB NAS drive. How much will it be for 3 70GB iSeries 
drives and a controller - 3 or 4x the cost of the one drive?

Anyway, I'm just looking for thoughts/suggestions. Thanks in advance.
