Guys running Netbackup 5.0Mp7 on solaris 9 environment. I have a master server connected to L700 via fibre through a SANBOX2 switch to robot and 6 drives.
The master server has 2 HBA's ( as i believe Sun impose a limit of 3 * LTO2 drives per 2GB HBA ). I have 2 SAN Media servers ( DB nodes ) each connected via the switch to the first 3 drives which are shared. I am adding 2 extra drives and another SAN Media server. Question is :- Using robtest i will see the extra drives in the L700 once added but i cant add these drives to the Master server as i have already hit my limit of drives / HBA. The new media server will be connected through the switch to the 2 new drives and will have the devices set up. The query i have is how does the master server ( which is the robot controller ) able to put the tapes into the drives for use with the 3rd Media server? As i wont have the devices and thus /dev/sg paths set up for these new drives on the master. Im unclear as to how this will work. Anyone any ideas? I cant see anything in the docs from the scan through i have had _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
