Hello all. I am using an STK L180 tape library for all backups on our domain. The server is Win 2k3 using Veritas NetBackup 4.5GA. Since this library keeps time itself, does anyone know what will happen due to the new date of DSL starting this year? I am unable to find any info on Sun's website...

Hi, I'm a student and out of my curiousness I want to know how data centers usually store their data. Some mail provider liker Gmail and Hotmail must have huge volume of data, even properly compressed. I just can't imagine they could store it in hard drives. Is there any special devices? Thanks in...

We have 2 x HP 30/FC chassis. The units run PROM code 0173. The controllers run the Clariion Flare OS. It is my understanding that version 9.56.03 Flare Code adds support for 36G drives in the array. Couple of questions: i) Does anyone know a source for 36G disks with 9.56.03 Flare Code?

Hi, I thought we had everything covered, but we still have issues. I can't find HP's "Checklist" for Windows hosts on a SAN (for backup). Our Windows group thought they had it but noone can find it. We have a mix of 2000 and 2003. Anybody gotta link to a doc/web/pdf? Thanks, Tom

Greetings: We are running a HP EVA 3000 storage area network and in Command View EVA there is a user setting under Occupancy called Alarm Level. We have it set at 90%, but what is the purpose of this alarm? Is there a performance consideration when the occupancy level exceeds a certain...

Hi! We're looking at a SAN solution for hosting about 8 servers for now and possibly adding a few more next year. The server are fileservers and a MS Exchange server with ~ 2000 users. The fileservers will be for about 3500+ concurrent clients. We're looking at a HP EVA3000 or an EMC CX300, both...

Greetings: We purchased an HP EVA 3000 about a year ago and currently have it connected only to an HP ES40 running OpenVMS. We have just purchased an ES47 to replace the ES40 and thought we could just move the fibre cables from the old server to the new server, change the WWIDs in Command View...

We are in the process of setting up a SAN of 2TBs and we are trying to decide between these two systems. EVA3000 permits virtualraid. IBM? For example, with 14 discs, EVA permits me to make a lun, partition it in different raid types to use it in the distinct servers. IBM? Can anyone help out?...

We have a new solution out for design and three different vendors have put forward three different SANs. 1. IBM4300 - seems to be more clunky on the UI than the HP and is bagged by the other vendors as being a "basic" SAn, it is meant to be poor because the operaotr still has select which physical...

I'm looking for some comments/feedback on the EVA6000 versus the DS4700. I've read the specifications and gotten the pitch from each vendor and personally I don't see that much difference between them. As well, we're probably going to be connecting an IBM p550Q to the storage and use VIO for a...

We have an MSA 1500 with dual controllers. Each had a single HBA, and each HBA attached to a seperate switch. When one of the HBA's in a server failed, we discovered that the path to the standby controller did not function, obviously. So we were told my HP to buy a switch or a hub to rpovide...

Hi. I have an HP MSA1000 with 9 drives. Eight of the physical drives are configured across 4 logical drives, with the last physical drive reserved as an online spare. I installed three additional drives into the SAN Chassis last night. Nothing more. When I came in this morning to expand some of...

We're looking at investing in a SAN and have been comparing these two solutions but can't decide which way to go. does anyone have experience of either? any comments about comparing the two? Regards Paul

Hi, Accroding to the HP MSA1500 spec, it does not list Sun Solaris as a supported platform. What does this mean? Can I still connect it to a HBA on Sun box? Will I be able to see the LUN allocated? Thanks

I'm looking for an expert who may be able to help us with our new SAN issue. We have so far had 3 HP consultants and 2 other consultants from the company we purchased the hardware from. We are using HP blade servers running Windows 2003. However the servers are loosing their connection to the...

Hello Could somebody provide me with some links to Secure Path Manager, Secure Path Agent tutorials/manuals or some other information about these software - which could be helpful to pass hp0-803 exam? Unfortunately I don't have access to MSA array :-( I can not find anything on HP...
