I have the following scenario.
I have a main storage server with a multi-terabyte disk array, but only
SATA, no SCSI. I also have a SCSI LTO-2 drive which, for environmental
reasons, cannot live in the same location as the main storage server.
In order to be able to copy or migrate jobs from the main storage array
to tape, the array and the tape drive need to be controlled by the same FD.
I have the ability to put the LTO-2 drive on a separate server located
on the other side of the wall, connected to the main storage server with
a dedicated point-to-point gigabit link. It occurs to me that,
theoretically speaking, I might be able to publish the LTO-2 drive as an
iSCSI target over the gigabit link and drive it with the storage
server's FD.
Has anyone tried doing anything like this with Bacula? If so, did it
work? How did you accomplish it?
The target OS for the tape host is probably Solaris 10.
