RE: Compatibility between different vendors VTL solutions

<snip>
What sort of connection would the second VTL require to the Power server?
</snip>
<replySnip>
In the old DC you would need a FC connection from your Power system to your switch then to your new VTL in that same old DC.

Alternatively could we dump a number of backups to a lto6 tape cartridge, ship that over and restore that to the new VTL?
</snip>
You mean you could do DUPMEDBRM to LTO6 at the old DC. Ship them over to the new DC. Do a DUPMEDBRM from LTO6 to the new VTL.
Right?
Why would the new DC even have a physical tape library?
We have no physical tape drives or libraries. None. Haven't for years. Never been an issue. Done bare metal restores. Don't even send physical media to IBM anymore for in depth problem solving. All MSD's, etc go via internet.
With the money you'd spend on physical media, libraries, shipping and manual labor are you sure you wouldn't be better off with another VTL?
