Backup of network shares

2007-02-07 Thread Karin Dambacher
Hi everybody if I back up a network share via Domain statement (DOMAIN \\xyz.abc.ddd\k$) and the resource belongs to a cluster, backup will fail with ANS1056E, if the cluster group moves. Can I avoid this in any way? ( dsmc should retry). Thanks, Karin Diese e-Mail einschließlich ihrer

I second what John wrote. We have never experienced a device taking out all devices in a zone - because we went with the best practice of one adapter - one target per zone from the beginning. For clarity and sanity sake, use aliases for each device host side and target side and a naming convention

I agree with the best practice though it generally depends on your budget infrastructure. Eg 20 HBA's in a P595 Series would pretty much be a draw. If you want to be pedantic you should have separate HBA's for host as well if running LAN free. My experience to date if you have separate

Hi Karin, If the network share goes away (for whatever reason), the TSM client will not retry it. You could try scripting something up that invokes the TSM client (e.g., dsmc i \\xyz.abc.ddd\k$), interrogates the results for ANS1056E, and retries the operation once the network share is
