This enhancement will result in tremendous data reduction.

    Sorry about the delay in updating this RFE. This functionality was delivered in TSM 6.4.

    This scenario is also useful when you consider that backing of a disk needs to be done using a TDP for e.g. a database, thus making it double effort to also have TSM for VE do the same.
