Re: Image Catalog over NFS

Not that i disagree, however how does that help IBM revenue, or their OEM partners?

If IBM allows that, then they have to completely test those scenarios so they can support them. I would bet quite a large sum against that happening.

A short while back I thought I found an open source VTL that emulated an LTO tape library. I’ll see if I can find it again.

Hi,

just to clarify, we had to document that process in the past , and it is complex because of the amount of steps.

Maybe IBM should have some kind of NFS procedure based on BRMS or just a command, to take your Remote Image Catalog and BOOTP image in one step to a mounted NFS directory. This could lead to a poor man's VTL using a Linux Server.

So you would need to backup to a LOCAL Image catalog, rebuilt BOOTP there, and then transfer that directory along with the ISOs off to the target Linux server. All doable of course, but more steps and more opportunity for errors.

Thanks for the clarification! For me, this is a showstopper. Too much effort.

:wq! PoC
