Anyone tried putting a disk storage pool on an ISCSI, GigE attached Netapp-960 box? If so, any recommendations on TSM performance?
We are attempting this as a temporary solution, but are having VERY poor performance. Formatting a 250GB volume has taken up to 4 hours and then the backup performance on a test from 1 small client is only pushing 3-4 GB/hour. Also tried a device class of FILE and didn't see much difference. By contrast, equivalent test on a local disk takes just over 1 hour to format and throughput is 27GB/hour.
