Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO and NDMP Jobs
Quite right Any media server/filer that wants to utilise drives needs to have FC visibility of them. We use this quite a bit i.e. the same drives zoned into media servers and filers, then utilise SSO.

So you need to hook them up to get the media server to see the drives. How are they connected. Are you using a switch? If so, zoning them to the right place should be pretty easy. Once the drive is seen by both the media server and the NDMP host, SSO will allow it to be used by either one when necessary. -- Darren ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu Notice to recipient: The information in this internet e-mail and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.

[Veritas-bu] SSO and NDMP Jobs
In my current NetBackup 6.5.3 Windows environment, I have 4 tapes drives that are directly connected to my NetApp filer which uses NDMP to run duplicate jobs. I also have two other tape drives that are utilized for other backup jobs. There are currently 2 media servers and 1 master server. If I implement SSO, will my duplicate jobs see and utilize all six tape drives? Will Tucker | Storage Administrator Enterprise Technology Services Manhattan Associates, Inc.

Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO and NDMP Jobs
Even though a media server (or NDMP host) can see all 6 drives with SSO dosen't mean it will use all 6. The number of drives that can be used is specified in the storage unit, under maximum concurrent write drives. If you specify 1 or 2, no job using that storage unit will use more than that many drives (although the actual 1 or 2 physical drives it uses can change.) -Jonathan From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Will Tucker Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 3:34 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] SSO and NDMP Jobs In my current NetBackup 6.5.3 Windows environment, I have 4 tapes drives that are directly connected to my NetApp filer which uses NDMP to run duplicate jobs.
