I know that the iSCSI DSM has been available from a number of providers, but in the fiber channel space the only company that seems to be offering support for Microsoft MPIO is HP. Evidently storage vendors need to create DSM's for their disk arrays. I am troubled that other major players in the...

Hi, I am planning to build system where it is possible to create 100's of array(raid 5) at a time, that means some of them can go faulty even before init-task is complete.If INIT hasn't completed then there is no way to rebuild the array(?). Lets say raid-subsystem does things this way. We bypass...

Hi, I would like to hear from anyone who has used 500GB IDE hard drives with the Promise UltraTrak SX4000. Do they work okay for you? Have you run into any trouble with them? I need to bump up my storage in the SX4000 I use at work from the 250GB drives we currently use. Before I go and buy a...

Hi all, I am about to embark on my first SAN project, and just need to confirm a few things before I get going. The plan is to get a stack of Sun T1000 1u servers (mainly because they offer a real punch in a tiny form factor), serving web content in a load-balanced configuration. Because they...

I have a growing SAN and so time has come to start considering a better approach to managing it. Being a person with tons of experience with Sun stuff, I'm interested in ESM AA and the demo of it on Sun's website seems to indicate it has what I'm looking for. Has anyone here used or currently uses...

Hi Group, I bought a 100GB Hard Drive and installed it in my computer as a slave drive (details below). The PC took a long time in booting up, as if it was trying to recognize the new hardware, however when it finally booted the new hardware still was not recognized, I run the "scan for hardware...

Has anyone ever seen an error message B_UDC DSP error on the serial login to an ADIC SNC 5100 fibre bridge? We tried to connect this bridge to another vendor's tape library, with one SCSI port on the library, one SCSI for LTO3 drive #1 and a third SCSI on the fibre bridge to LTO3 drive #2. ...

I like to demount one of the two DLT SCSI drives in my Overland LibraryXpress LXB Module. Unfortunately the system can not run with only one installed drive. When I demount one drive, an error message 2072 appears and the system is not anymore usable. In the menus of the LXB I could not found a...

HI all. I'm trying to use a Certance CDL432LWF in AutoLoader mode. (It's a DAT72 drive with 6-tape cartridge.) I hope to use it as a pure autolader with some software that doen't work with Msoft removeable storage etc. On the LCD menu, you can can set the unit to Autoloader mode such that each...
