We are, we have Disk and Tape on the same fabric, though we balance the load.
Backup Server 1 - Disk HBA to Switch1 Fab1 1 - Disk HBA to Switch2 Fab2 1 - Tape HBA to Switch1 Fab1 1 - Tape HBA to Switch2 Fab2 Work fine, and if one Fab goes down you still have access to some tape and some STGpool on SAN Disk. -----Original Message----- From: Schmitz Garnebode [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 6:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Antwort: Re: Planning new SAN hi Koen, yes we plan separate adapters for disk i/o and tape i/o. I known the problem to use disk i/O and tape i/o on the same host bus adapter. That's not the question. Nobody can clarify the statement! That's my problem. Can i use disk an tape devices in one fabric (not same hba) without problems or must i design two fabrics one for disk and one for tape (not zoning) ? kind regards Michael
