Why not ? STK loves NT ... I'm sure it is a Dell box with Enginio controllers ... If you want to use shared ( SSO ) drives - confirm with STK/SUN if the NDMP version it runs supports SCSI Reserve/Release and of course as was mentioned yearlier today, NetBackup have to be version 6.

Just a point of clarification here... I was under the assumption that if I had 4 fiber drives in library shared with 2 media servers via SSO that I could also share one of those drives with an NDMP NAS, namely a Sun StorEdge 5320. Is this not the case? Just to clarify, when it comes NDMP backup time I want the Sun StorEdge to allocate one of the SSO drives and write its data to it while sending metadata to one of the media servers. Is that not gonna happen? -Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Heck Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 1:56 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP and SSO in NetBackup 6.0 Rongsheng, NDPM and SSO works very similar to normal SSO with NetBackup. What I would do is configure the Windows and UNIX hosts to share the drives first, then configure access to the NDMP Host (Celerra NAS), then finally modify the drives to include the NDMP path to the drives. You can then set up an NDMP storage Unit, and start backing up. However I feel the need to advise you that not all versions of all filers are compatible with SSO, this is mainly due the way reserve and release are handled in some versions of some manufacturers Filer OS. Please check the support.veritas.com web site, compatibility list for NDMP to verify that your Filers OS is compatible.
