we have a Dell SAN with 5 NT 4.0 servers and 6 disk arrays. We are using arcserve 6.61 EE build 885sp1...I know that is a bad choice but it was free. It had been backing up everything fine and ususally pretty fast but lately a backup that used to take 30 minutes is taking 4-5 hours. Throughput is extremely low...like 20mbs when it used to be at around 240-320mbs. There are 2 fibre switches and a bride...none of which report any failures or excessive errors. We are going to be moving to Veritas backup exec 9.0 in the next couple weeks. I was more or less looking for what other SAN owners do for troubleshooting or what software there is to monitor/examine the SAN. These servers have been running fine and I did a reboot of the SAN the other weekend to see if that would help...but it has not.
thanks for the help -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 3:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Clustering OWA but not IM ? I can't answer your question about load-balancing IM because I would have to research it and you can do that yourself. However, you can point IM to the non-load-balanced port address of the server.

I am interested in Network Load Balancing this server however I am under the impression IM is not supported under the Network Load Balancing architecture. Is that true? I cannot find it specifically about IM in NLB white papers however I have found it in the Exchange 2k Cluster white paper. Thanks in advance, Erik L.
