We are running on V5R4 and attempting to mount (via NFS) an external file system (Data Domain 530) onto the iSeries. Even though on the surface it appears that the mount was successful; you cannot execute any type of read or write operation to the mount. After running a communications trace, it was determined that [...]

Hi, can someone describe which will be the impact when i will change the NFS Export Properties to NFSv4 (see Advanced – NFS version supported for connections) and what about the security options?

Need a “simple concept” to do the SAN Interconnect based Storage virtualization on multi vendor basis / heterogeneous SAN sub system based. And how much this will be helpful on ROI? -Guru
I was searching for a long time for a simple tool which can tell us the controller throughput of any SAN environment. Its necessary for every Storage engineer to have this utility to cross verify the subsystem we buy. Ofcourse the vendor will have the tool or LAB benchmark for the same. But those will [...]

Recently the application running on one of our clusters had problems when some of the servers had problems accessing the NFS storage. The analysis showed there to be a mismatch between the QFE interfaces and the network protocol. The QFEs were operating at half duplex while the network was expecting full. The cluster servers had [...]

What we are not sure of is whether these two issue should be combined. My original vision was that a good tape based HSM system (Tivoli,…) and a tape robot would [...]
What or how is the best way to present a single pool of storage to Mac clients using AFP, Windows using SMB/CIFS, and Linux/Unix using NFS? The ideal solution would be users to access all of their data whether they bounced from a Mac to a Linux workstation and then to a Windows system. Basically [...]
We have a need to run numerous virtual servers from a NAS/SAN. The questions is, which should we choose? THe product we support (Citrix XenServer) supports either for backend virtual system storage and can run VM’s from either. Currently, our needs are small. We have about 10 virtual servers that we want to migrate to [...]
