One other thing that is interesting to note...If you are using LAN-Free, you can create a management class that points to a disk pool and a management class that points to a tape pool and then make entries in the incl/excl list to include these management classes. By doing this, you can direct some data to go over the SAN directly to tape (LAN-Free) and have other data pass over the network to disk. While I have only experimented with this at this time, it seems to have potential performance benefits if you network bandwidth available.
