General best practices
This part describes the general best practices that users of IBM ProtecTIER can employ, such as recovery management and back-end storage concepts. This part also describes guidelines for Virtual Tape Library (VTL), File System Interface (FSI) for the Common Internet System (FSI-CIFS) and for the Network File System (FSI-NFS).
This part describes configuration options regarding host attachment and contains the following chapters:
