John,
I'm not the NetApp expert. Actually one of the folks at another location
manages that box. As I understand it the Netapp will present the data as
exported NFS filesystems to any NFS client that wants to mount it. On the
Intel side it makes the data available in CIFS format so clients can "net
use" to the box. There are some various permission schemes in place to
protect the data from unauthorized use.
We have both Intel and Unix boxes accessing the device. If you would like I
can send you a contact offline for more details. Might be some other folks
on the list that are little more versed in the actual NetApp nuts-n-bolts
than I am.

Curtis,
You mention you are using the NetApp on a Sun machine. What do you mean by
this? How is your NetApp configured? (Network mapping or hard-wired or
whatever?)
We will be using our NetApp with WindowsNT and Citrix servers.
TIA,

We are using a NetApp on one of our Sun machines out in Colorado Springs.
Solaris sees the NetApp as NFS data. We have the various filesystems coded
in DSM.SYS. Would be nice if there was native support rather than putting
the data on the network twice.

We recently brought in a Network Appliance, so we are new to this. Since you
can't install any software on the Network Appliance, a direct TSM backup is
out of the question. Our intention is to run a TSM command schedule from
another server to perform the TSM backup.
The TSM command schedule command will map a network drive, invoke DSMC
incremental on the newly mapped network drive and then remove the drive
mapping. At least, in theory it should work. Any other thoughts?

Is anyone familiar with Network Appliance products and can TSM back them up
directly or any other way?
