Shawn, I was the presenter for that STE but I did not cover this as part of the
presentation. Let me find the answer for you and I will reply back to the
listserv.

Subject: TSM 6.2 Deduplication Question
I'm reviewing the features of 6.2 and trying to decide if its worth the
new-version-risk for one of our smaller branches.
We are a 5.5 shop, so I'm a little behind on the details of the new
features.
The manual says that deduplication is available only on storage pools
using a File device class. (many times!)
However, I noticed this other entry under Virtual Volumes:
When you copy or move data from a deduplicated storage pool to a
non-deduplicated
storage pool that uses virtual volumes, the data is reconstructed. When
you copy or
move data to a "deduplicated storage pool that uses virtual volumes" the
data is deduplicated.

bm.itsm.srv.doc/t_network_virtualvol.html
From that, I am inferring you can use a device class of "server" as well.
This would be a huge for us if this were true.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? Is this just a documentation hiccup?
Regards,
Shawn
