Considering using FILE device class for non-dedup pools.
Hi
I think that cos is possible to backup over lanfree if someone create a solution for it supporting this feature on the scsi protocol
if you intend to backup to disk using lanfree option, than ibm SANergy can be a choice
that requires a storage pool of type file
the metadata goes over nfs (such as open file, create file… and the written or read data goes over SAN)
if you want buckets, than minio in front of spfs can help?
https://www-50.ibm.com/partnerworld/gsd/solutiondetails.do?&solution=56435
where the bucket request comes from the client into minio and translated to file path where spfs is mounted
spfs sends the spectrum protect client api calls to the spectrum protect storageAgent (LANfree server) and storing the data on the spectrum protect server
