An i5 can't act as an iSCSI Initiator yet, but it can act as an iSCSI target (which is used for storage connectivity for IXS and IXA, and the IBM BladeCenter). This is planned, though. Attaching the DS300 through SMB (via the QNTC File System) or through NFS (I didn't find a mention that i5/OS can act as an NFS Client, but that still might be the case) will probably cause headaches, and performance will suck. -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Karl Lauritzen Jr. Sent: Wed 8/2/2006 4:33 AM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: More DASD Vern, Agree with you on price of ESS. I just checked that out. No way can I afford that. 0595 is way cheaper. But 40k every 9-12 months is very expensive in long run. But I did discover DS300 with SCSI 300GB drives. Much cheaper but they attach to xseries. Well I have 3 xseries and one sitting doing nothing. Very intriguing but I have no clue how the 400 would see this data via NFS if at all. So back to research for me. Karl Lauritzen Jr. National Lloyds Insurance Company American Summit Insurance Company
