The only problem I had with SSO on Linux with 5.1MP3 was adding tape
drives that were in use by other hosts. Other than that, it's
working fine on our spectra 64k with AIT-2 (eeep). I'm upgrading to

I think you have got to tell us a bit more about the issue you are trying
to address.
Are you looking to get rid of tape altogether? Or are you looking at
alternatives as a primary backup, with a tape as secondary offsite copy?
Could you use the ability of FalconStor and NetApps to clone data
Dan,
You don't need to upgrade all your clients, in fact you don't even need
to upgrade your media servers. Just upgrade the master (yes you need the
pbx part of ICS installed first) and don't forget to run nbpushdata
afterwards.
Good luck

The problems were mostly related to SSO - problems discovering devices &
