Re: Virtual Tape and IFS/Image Catalog Full Save (21)

I was talking about IBM Virtual Tape emulation for the iSeries. I
prefer a VTL appliance with a very fast link such as 10GB Ethernet or
faster Optical. But if the appliance does not have enough arms, it can
be your bottle neck.

But if you are saving to the same ASP, which you are not, your disks
will be over worked and be your bottle neck.

I like your idea of offloading to an FTP server. How much data are you
saving on a daily basis?

What(s) your definition of a VTL, a UDFS in the IFS, I have one of these
as
ASP2 and it is pretty fast, offload it daily to an FTP server.
