Hello All, I am looking to get a new back up solution for my file server. I have a compaq 35/70gb dlt drive that has just packed up. I already own a copy of Veritas Back up exec for nt 8.6. My regular back up consists of windows adv server system state, exchange 2000 and all files. I have heard...

Hi All, I am new in system administration. I have a problem to do the backup by using solstice 5.1 at my first day. Thanks in advance for all your help. I got the error message on one of my client Kilby for a long time, but could not find a way to fix it. The error message shows:

Sorry for late reply, no news server for a while. I'm not a Netware admin either so I can't say for certain. I do know that the NWA's I worked with replicated all remote server data to a central server and backed that up. ~F On Tue, 02 Sep 2003 06:38:31 GMT,...

We have an ATL library with 5 drives spread over 3 bridges. When we reboot the servers attached to the san, we sometimes loose one or more tapedrives (not all drives are detected on all servers) A simple rescan on windows solves this problem .... but checking if the tapedrives are detected or not...

I have about fifty used DLT tapes of unknown origin. In principle, I'm very reluctant to use them for anything important, but I'd consider using them if I had some way of verifying the integrity of the media. Is there any tool that I could use to write something to every block on the tape, read...

I just received a new case of tapes from Quantum for our SDLT 220 drive and they are all giving me troubles: # mt setdensity 145 # tar cvSbf 1024 /dev/tape /usr2 /bin/tar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/tar: /dev/tape: Wrote only 0 of 524288 bytes /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable:...

I am having a problem with DLT 7000 drives going down in our Storagetek 9714 robotic drive cabinet. We are running Veritas Netbackup 3.4.1 on a Solaris 2.6 server. Everything runs fine dirring the week while ecrementals are running but the weekends are a nightmare. Every monday morning at least...

Hi all! We will have to backup a couple of file servers, located in remote offices. These servers run linux and serve files to XP Clients using samba. I am planning to do this with a NetApp NearStore R150 and their SnapVault software. The network from remote to central offices is weak and their...

We buy a fair number of used L180 and L700 tape libraries, and we have noticed a fairly large number of these systems have one of the two DC power supplies dead. Opening these always shows a burn at exactly the same transistor on the PCB. Recently we had a unit under test where the DC power...

Have you thought about an LSI/StorageTek array? LSI designed dedicated ASICs do all the RAID work in hardware rather then having a pentium system processor try to do the work with firmware. The pentiums in the LSI/StorageTek boxes are just handle controller config and traffic routing. With their...

I want to thank you for your reply. I solved the problem with the tapes being rejected by adding the carts to a group and erasing them. I now am facing an exsisting problem. The drives will not compress. Each of the drives have hardware compression enabled but when I enable compression in the...

I gotta say, you must be one of the 8 people that have had a good experience with EMC. I've yet to meet face to face an EMC customer who isn't tired of them and wish they cold toss them out completely. We started out with EMC/Clariion Hardware at our shop and have been extremely happy with...

We have a EMC DS-16B switch that boots, however never gets to be in an online and ready state. At the prompt most commands reveal "Switch not ready", and subsequent logins produce the message "WARNING: switch still initializing - please wait". The problem is it *never* finishes initializing....

I about to merge two fabrics (technically 4 fabrics - 2 redundant). The first fabric is a Brocade 3800 and the second is a 2800. Anybody have a step by step or gotchas or ... ?? Thanks

First im not sure if this is the best group to be posting this in? if it is not and anyone has a suggestion for a better group please could you let me know? We have been running a Compaq Prolient server for a year now and it has a Compaq 20/40 GB DLT drive in it which has been working...

Does anyone have any information about the availability of the Linksys EFG120 Network Attached Storage (NAS) device? It was announced as shipping by Linksys like a month ago and is listed by many retailers but nobody has any in-stock. I'm thinking it's not really shipping. Today I checked the...

I am trying to delete ISL port assignments left over on a Brocade switch we are redeploying. The original network is no longer in place, so the sgroupDelete command will not work unless you use the force override option. The problem is that I cannot get the syntax correct. I...
