[Veritas-bu] Only 128 drives allowed on Linux?!?
Post subject: Only 128 drives allowed on Linux?!? ltid[4709]: The currently licensed version allows up to 128 drives per server. You have configured 200 drives. What exactly does it mean? What license? Is there a license for this at all or is it just Symantecs way of telling me that I should not tamper with the standard linux kernels? Anyone got an idea how to get rid of this limitation? There is a limit of 128 drives per media server in NBU, and I don't think there is any getting around it.

These aren't necessarily all issues. There are a handful of issues for which there are fixes available *today*. Issues that I would expect for a major or minor release (not a MP). I would like to put my two cents worth in on this particular point. 6.5.2 may be a double dot release, but it is not like the old MPs. MPs were maintenance packs and were for the most part supposed to be for fixes. 6.5.2 has twenty advertised new features, and according to the release announcement an additional 20 enhancements(features). You would never have gotten 40 features in an MP. Whether it is called a major release or not, it had the content and changes of a major release. I know it had more features than the 5.1 release. Is 6.5.2 perfect? No. IS this going back to the bad old days of 6.0 MP1 2 and 3?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Best setup for NetBackup in 2 sites across theWANlink
There is no such thing as a Master Server License, never has been to my knowledge(after 3.11). There are only Mediaservers. Any Enterprise Media server can be a master. Mediaservers are tiered by OS (windows, linux, Unix) and Manufacture Model #. Symantec determines which tier a Model is in. San Mediaservers cannot be Masters.

Re: [Veritas-bu] lto4 fc bottleneck
Or to put it another way. The backplane of your switch is the limiting factor. If the switch is oversubscribed(too many devices) it could become a bottleneck. jim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Wilts Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 4:38 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] lto4 fc bottleneck You're mixing up bits and bytes. Your fibre hba is 1 Gb (little b = bit). Your drives are capable of 120MB (big B = byte). So you're trying to put 120MB of data down a roughly 100MB pipe. I'd say that for each LTO-4, you're going to need a dedicated 1Gb HBA or upgrade the HBAs switch to 4Gbps and then you can get away with only 2 of them.
