[Veritas-bu] Scalar i2000 FC question

[tpcshadow]

Thanks for the info! This library will only be attached to a single server so 
we're going with a direct connection. There will be multiple FC connections, so 
now I know to distribute them across all IO blades with attached drives.

Thanks,
Thomas


I believe the firmware is 575A-GS00101

[Veritas-bu] Scalar i2000 FC question

[tpcshadow]

I've been given the task of taking a used fibre channel Scalar i2000 and 
putting it into production. I have no documentation except for the users guide 
I've downloaded from Quantum's web site.

Does each FC I/O blade operate as an independent FC switch? As a test I have a 
host attached to the FC1 port on IO blade 3. The LUN masking wizard only allows 
me to map tape drives attached to IO blade 3, but cannot map or see tape drives 
on IO blade 4 or 5.  Is there a way to make LUN masking work across IO blades, 
or are connections limited to the same IO blade?
