Re: massive document storage in the IFS - how to handle Mimix

QNTC bad :-(

NFS good :-)

If SAN storage could be used like a mounted Network Storage space wehre the entire blob can be backed at once, that would be good perhaps.

Hi Rob

Yeah, that sounds right - of course, I wonder if being on a SAN through NFS or even QNTC is something that is almost synonymous with ownership coming from elsewhere. Are there situations where objects on a SAN are considered to be ON the IBM i? I had meant "on a SAN" to be about access through non-native protocols like NFS.

Just have to explain better, eh?

Vern,

It's not that it's on a SAN that makes all the difference. It's that the SAN is not running under IBM i that makes the difference. You're mapping to it. Like mapping to a Windows drive. There's no IBM i object ownership involved.

Unless they are talking about an IASP type SAN. But I think that would still involve object ownership I believe.
