Feature Request - DDVE VTL
I would like to see the VTL supported on the DDVE. We are interested in virtualizing the data domain for our IBMi and using the NPIV feature on the VM to present the VTL to the iSeries.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
VTL is not support in DDVE.
It's like VDISK (Protectpoint) and DDBOOST FC, SAN Fiber channel is not support in DDVE.

I know it's not supported, which is why this post was titled feature request.

Hi
Can you describe the use case ? Does Cloud Tier work as an option?
Thx

We want to virtualize the data domain in order to keep shrinking our hardware foot print. The only thing left which would be using data domain is our iSeries. It's using the VTL feature today. The iSeries is has a total of 4TB of data which includes the retention. The iSeries as far as I know can only use the VTL.

If you want to have a feature officially adopted, you'll want to submit an RFE, a Request for Enhancement to Dell engineering. This will create an engineering request with a trackable issue number. Your local sales team can assist in the process.
Let us know if that helps!
