Daniel, I'm using a netapp filer (FAS940) but my connection to it is thru ethernet 1GB connection. I have two disk storage pools in TSM defined on the filer. We use iSCSI and the performance is acceptable. FC is more expensive as a solution therefore if you already have it in place you should use it. The filer is definitely performing fine. Yiannakis

We have a client planning to implement a NetApp 640 which will be used both for TSM diskpools (over FC) and for fileservers. Anyone got any experience on this?
