Do you have the Dell 650/660 or the new EMC 4700? With the older dell SANs and arcserv the data would go over the network and not use the HBA cards. The only way to use the HBA and go right from disk to the tape drive is use the server less backup option and that is not supported on the old dell SAN. If you need some more help ping me back.

We are using arcserve 6.61 EE build 885sp1...I know that is a bad choice but it was free. It had been backing up everything fine and ususally pretty fast but lately a backup that used to take 30 minutes is taking 4-5 hours. Throughput is extremely low...like 20mbs when it used to be at around 240-320mbs. There are 2 fibre switches and a bride...none of which report any failures or excessive errors. We are going to be moving to Veritas backup exec 9.0 in the next couple weeks. I was more or less looking for what other SAN owners do for troubleshooting or what software there is to monitor/examine the SAN. These servers have been running fine and I did a reboot of the SAN the other weekend to see if that would help...but it has not. thanks for the help -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 3:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Clustering OWA but not IM ? I can't answer your question about load-balancing IM because I would have to research it and you can do that yourself. However, you can point IM to the non-load-balanced port address of the server.

I am interested in Network Load Balancing this server however I am under the impression IM is not supported under the Network Load Balancing architecture. Is that true? I cannot find it specifically about IM in NLB white papers however I have found it in the Exchange 2k Cluster white paper. Thanks in advance, Erik L.
