Re: The New Power Equation: Power = i + p

[Jeff Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kendall,
I do not completely understand.
Are you saying that if I run I5/OS (or whatever the new name will be) on a Blade and do a SAVxxx to tape, that I can not restore that tape on any other system running I5/OS at the same or higher release?
Also the reverse, that I can not restore a tape from another (non Blade) system saved by I5/OS to a Blade?

Or is this regarding backup/restore of other OS's?

Thanks,

If you look at blades, make sure you understand the backup and recovery 
capabilities that are available. It looks like right now the blades can't 
read a tape created by a standard model. I don't believe the blades can 
create a tape that can be read by the standard models either at this time. 
I've been assured by IBM that they are working on fixing this but it's 
something you have to be aware of for the time being.
