Shawn, I was the presenter for that STE but I did not cover this as part of the presentation. Let me find the answer for you and I will reply back to the listserv.

We are a 5.5 shop, so I'm a little behind on the details of the new features. The manual says that deduplication is available only on storage pools using a File device class. (many times!) However, I noticed this other entry under Virtual Volumes: When you copy or move data from a deduplicated storage pool to a non-deduplicated storage pool that uses virtual volumes, the data is reconstructed. When you copy or move data to a "deduplicated storage pool that uses virtual volumes" the data is deduplicated. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/index.jsp?topic=/com.i bm.itsm.srv.doc/t_network_virtualvol.html From that, I am inferring you can use a device class of "server" as well. This would be a huge for us if this were true. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Is this just a documentation hiccup?
