Is it too difficult? fcip routers not cost effective and not easy to manage solutions. I don’t understand why a storage device can’t replicate data over IP-Network?

The servers did have different names too. If it does cause an issue there is a very simple process to tweak the hostname in the DB2 parameters.

I also assume that you have to put the same IP address (in server2) that server1 has.

I fancy having a bash at that. Being honest, I don't think kids are going to get a look-in with this first batch, way out numbered by keen techheads... Good find with the Airplay receiver!

Two other bonuses with this architecture are really easy installation using a USB key and genuine active/active heads with either 'head' module able to accept IO to any share. One point is that external storage cannot be used with CIFs at the moment although you could still achieve what you want by using a mix of disk types in the Storwize V7000 itself (i.e. a drawer of 300 GB 15K RPM disks versus a drawer of 3TB 7.2K RPM disks).

]]> Comment on EMC VNX vs Netapp – the clash of the Unified Titans by Giovanni http://www.StorageWisdom.com/?p=206&cpage=1#comment-71 Giovanni Wed, 22 Jun 2011 18:01:18 +0000 http://www.StorageWisdom.com/?p=206#comment-71 EMC VNX feels like a Frankenstein made of Celerra and Clarion parts. The fact that the single box has TWO operating systems should be enough to dismiss any claims of it being a 'unified' storage.. perhaps EMC is too hardware focused and think that a single hardware package is enough for it to be unified. We had a executive brief with them and the fact that I still have to size my SAN and NAS areas separately (dedicating RAID groups to that) is a big disappointment.

TSM FB as a replication tool? As in a tool to be used to recover high level services? Loz - if you did a cost comparison of additional storage, servers, licenses and management skills surely FC wins? oh my! TSM FB as a replication tool?
