A couple versions back, both versions of OS & versions of NetBackup, there were problems SSO sharing tape drives with Windows boxes. While officially supported many people reported problems with device ownership. Windows was somewhat "grabby" and liked to possess shared devices rather than happily share them.
We're probably starting a process now with the upcoming 7.1 and our first implementation of Windows servers as media servers (either Win2003 or Win2008 depending on when they're built). What's been your more recent experience sharing tape drives (Ultrium 5) between Windows & Unix (AIX/Linux) media servers? -M ============================ Mark Donaldson - Systems & Storage Administrator Staples - Broomfield, CO _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
