We've been told by consultants (these particular consultants shouldn't throw stones) that DataDomain customers running TSM are far happier running NFS than VTL, because DDRs are built primarily as file servers and the VTL function is an add-on.
I can see the financial motive for staying with NFS (those VTL licenses aren't cheap!), but I'm skeptical about the implication that there's a functional or performance advantage to using NFS over VTL for a TSM server, in our case on AIX. Would anyone who's run both or chosen NFS care to comment? How much does it depend on your infrastructure or your needs for LAN-free? Thanks, Nick
