RE: Can a Dell iSCSI MD3260i storage array be used as a backup device with either a Power8 or Power7

I think Laservault has a piece that will back up libs to a SAN or NAS.

May not be for full system recovery but for daily use probably OK.

Larry,

Our company currently uses Dell iSCSI MD3280i to backup all our
Windows and Linux servers vIa Tivoli.
I was asked if could be used to back up our iSeries.
The thought was to expand the MD3280i and use it as a backup device as
opposed to tape.
My response was there other disk based backup solutions designed to
work with an iSeries.
But I did need to ask.

Paul

Used, perhaps. Supported, no chance. Given that I wouldn't touch it
in a production environment.

2) If so, how would it be connected and what features would be needed?
