Hi All Currently looking into the SAN Client / Fibre Transport clients. Wondered if anyone else has implemented this on 6.5 and any pros cons? While readin the SS Guide - it seems to imply you need a Media Server, but does not really explain if you can use a Master Server for this (even though a

Title: NetBackup Fibre Transport Client Backups Simon, afaik, a SAN Client is a Media Server that can only backup its own data. It needs the same infrastructure as a Media Server (hba, san, zonings and etc ...) The difference is the license price If it works fine or not, I still dont

SAN Client means the client is the Media Server, but can only back itself up. You need to have the SAN client be zoned to the tape library or disk location you want to back up to. At the same time, if you are doing this to a tape library, you need to have the shared storage option licensed for

Hi Simon, I have it configured and it works quite well, especially on the really big clients. It works just with Sun Solaris or Linux NetBackup Media Servers, you need to have a separate Qlogic card better with more then one port, and to have zoning done properly on your fiber switches, on the

Simon, I think that some of the replies on the list are not quite correct. We are implementing the SAN Client/FT Media Server for a production data centre, and I've spent several months working on it in our test labs. It's true that the documentation is slightly confusing, especially if you

The goal is to get off of the aging V880 and onto a cheaper Linux platform. At the same time, we've had a couple high-profile hardware failures in the past couple months and, since the hardware is cheap (and the VCS license is free thanks to our site license), putting in a cluster seems a way to

Massive data transfer through virtual HBA is reportedly difficult. Bare metal might be better. If this is a true Master Server, not a Media Server, I'm going to guess there's no issues. If this, however, needs to access tape drives, you might want to investigate the limitations of virtual

I would not advise using an agent to backup to a different version Media server, especially one so far downrev as you have described. Your problem sounds like you have something else going on in your environment. A 54 means it cannot reach the client at all and it seems strange that it worked

Thanks guys. Just to clarify, we have no intention of doing any backups to the master server, either to disk or tape. All of the backups will be performed by physical media servers. Having said that, I haven't really thought about catalog backups yet. Luckily I will have a chance to test this to
