RE: For the Technical guys

Agreed. Those drives are really tier 3 storage and should only be used for
archive type purposes. We used them only for BRMS to archive objects into
an ASP (or iASP) so the nightly backups get more sane times. We back up the
ASP(iASP) as needed.

BRMS has the hierarchical management built into the Advanced feature.

They are in the list but don't buy 'em! Even for test and dev those things
are slow. At least get the 15K Drives and a few more of them. For test and
dev you may find that the read intensive SSDs will work for you also yilding
vast leaps in performance at reasonable cost.

Hi Techies.

Looking at (competing) quotes for a new S914 (P9) dev. machine:

one BP configures 1.1TB 10K RPM SAS SSF-3 disks the other BP says
these disks are not configurable for S914 IBM i machines.

Who is correct?

TIA
