Hello, I've just begun a head to head comparison with SUN/STK's D380 (Engenio/LSI) and HP's EVA 8000 mid range disk arrays, each with 10TB of raw disk (146gb 10k rpm 2gb FC disks) in a Solaris 8-10, Redhat Linux ES 3, and Win2k SAN environment. I would very much appreciate any feedback,...

Hi, Could you please let me know the different algorithms for various techniques which can be used to sanitize or Data Shredder for sensitive production data for the used disks in a storage system. Thanks & Regds, Babi

Earlier I had posted a message as follows: Want recommendations for external USB DVD dual layer burners. Thanks in advance for your feedback. What I am seeking is recommendations as to specific brands/models. Thanks again.

Good day, all. I'm curious if anyone out there has any experience, positive or negative, in trying to connect an IBM DS4300 (Turbo) with two multi-pathed connections to a single host (IBM X346) running Windows Server 2003 SP1 R2 64-bit (EM64T, not Itanium). I saw a similar question posted here...

Hi, I wanted to throw this out there. I am trying to identify what created some tapes I have. These are 1024 byte blocked. The first two blocks contain "IDH2" in the first four bytes of each block respectively. Then two (yes two) tape marks then data. Probably a netware server, early 90's...

Has anyone encountered a 'missing' volume in their library? I have an L5500 and ACSLS 7.1. Somehow a tape ended up outside the library and is now listed as 'missing' when I query the volume in cmd_proc. When I try to inject the tape, it gets scanned (cap set to automatic), and then the cap gets...

Hi, I am trying to figure out at what point I should be looking into some sort of ILM technology. In reading vendor case studies such as (http://www.netapp.com/library/cs/mustang.pdf), I dont see why I cant just keep adding more disks to my primary storage right now as demand increases... when...

Hi all, I am new to ILM & HSM. Right now I am looking for a archival solution. Looking thru EMC's website, Centera CAS & DiskXtender caught my eyes. Although one is hardware and the other is software, it seems that the roles of Centera CAS & DiskXtender overlapped. Both seems to have...

Hi, I'd like to upgrade from the OS from Solaris 8 = 9 on a TSM backup server. Will a restore of /opt/tivoli be sufficient to comepletely recover the TSM installation once the new OS is in place or are there other files I need? Is there a preferred way of doing manouvres like this one?

Hey, I'm looking for a NAS that is able to do the following: - 500gb - web server - print server - itunes server - smtp mail server

I recently acquired a 3580-L3H whose firmware appears old but when I try to update I get a weird error. I'm using their ITDT.EXE and jump thru all the hoops but when I get to the part where it actually does the update it reports FAILED and in another box it declares UNEXPECTED DATA. The version...

hi could someone help me out here? i need to work out how many LTO3 tapes it will take to hold 12TB data. can someone please tell me if the following calculation is correct or show me a batter way of working this out? LTO3 holds 400GB

I was wondering if anyone else might have run across this before. We have a file server 2003R2 that connects to a san through iscsi but it loses it shares after a reboot. i usually have to grab the backup share info in the registry and merge it back in and restart the server service. It works...

I am trying to dump raw blocks from a floppy tape device to disk file in a DOS/Windows environment. I am having little luck. I am unable to dd with mks as the floppy driver doesn't perform with the tape drive. Obviously I can't treat it like a scsi device. Does anyone know of any functional...

Hi, I am total clueless newbie in the huge data storage issues, but I was asked by the guy who I am working for (don't ask, it's a long story) to analyze differences between Xiotech SAN (which they use now) with possibility to switch to RedHat GFS. The storage would be used for a large...

Hello all, I used to know of a good website where you could plug in the WWNN and it would come back and tell you the vendor information. I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know of this site or a similar site? Thanks.

Cleaning out the "loft" today, came across three brand-new, never- been-used Quantum DLT CleaningTape III's. These things are probably 7 years old if they're a day. And that loft area is un-conditioned, so the temperature and humidity have been all over the map. If they were data tapes, no way...
