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'm confused about intelligence disaster recovery of Veritas Backup Exec 9.x. When I create intelligence disaster recovery diskettes via wizard, it consists 2 of diskettes: disk 1 and disk 2, and computer-specific disaster recovery information (DR file). But during perform intelligence...

I have an option to buy a HDS 9900, model 9960. No HD but has 2 FC cards and 1 GB or RAM I belive. Does any one know a ball park price for this unit Jay

I'm looking at replacing a slew of legacy Netapp filers (F760, F880, etc) and am considering Agami among others. NAS virtualization is not an option as most of the filers are in pocket networks. Anyone have experience with Agami or similar?

We have been using AIT 2 and 3 drives for about 2 years now and have had many failures. We use libraries from Cybernetics and more recently ADIC. Our ADIC Scaler 100 is less than three months old and we have already replaced four drives. We have four Cybernetic two drive/30 tape libraries and...

Has anyone been successful in using any flavor of AIT tape drive under USB, mapped through IDE? I know Sony makes an IDE version of the drive, and it's common these days to find cases that will map IDE/EIDE hard drives into USB 2.0. I assume those same casese could map an AIT IDE drive to the...

I have a ton of the Sony Digital 8 tapes. Can I use them in an AIT-1 drive? Thanks

We are currently observing tape media errors during our nightly backup runs. Backup server is a SGI 02, external Sony AIT tape drive. We started with AIT-1 (Sony SDX-300C) three years ago, 10 Sony SDX1-25C tapes reused 4 days a week, 8-23GB per tape run (amanda, backup data go to local disk first...

any experience with AIT-3 tape ?

Problem: trying to read some AIT-3 tapes created in a Rorke library. Background: Just got a Sony SDX-700C AIT-3 drive. It passes all diagnostics with flying colors. New tapes written by the Sony diag's are readable (block dumps) to my software. However, my friend's tapes, from a Rorke AIT-3...

hi, i've got a question (on AIX 5.2) : while migrating some data to a new SAN (from ESS to Symmetrix DMX systems), we will need to remove a lv copy on disks that will be missing. (because we will remove the zoning between a hba on the server and the old san, so that these disks will become...

EMC supports now IBM's (AIX) MPIO with usage of "defauly PCM for fibre attached Symmetrix devices." "CLARiiON support is targeted in the near future". (Readme on ODM entrys for AIX, EMC document). Is Powerpath still needed when AIX MPIO is used on EMC stirage devices (technical question, not a...

Hello, On an AIX 4.3.3 server with two 6228 HBAs : fscsi0 (tapes) - PtP connection to an ADIC snc5100/Scalar1000/LTO1x6 fscsi1 (disk) - connected trough an IBM FC switch to an ESS disk array Problem is for each physical tape drive, cfgmgr creates two "rmt" devices. The NetBackup "scan" command...

I need to give a presentation on the benefits of AIX vs Solaris. Can everyone share your thoughts. Keep in mind that I`m not looking to dismiss either platform, I think they both work very well with specific databases, storage and apps. Thoughts please! Thanks

Hi there, Is it possible under Veritas Netbackup Datacentre (V3.4.1 on Windows2K) to have the concept of user accounts ? I want to allow a user (our tape monkey, but don't call them that! :-) to fire up the NetBackup GUI and only be able to view the settings and not be able to change/damage...

So we've been looking the NetApp F825c and it will no doubt do the job but it's a *tad* expensive and also I don't like the whole RAID4 thing. Can someone suggest a reliable alternative for the NetApp F825c that can grow up to 6TB and has enough Ethernet expansion ports and also has a way to...

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...

At home I have a Linux desktop and a headless Linux fileserver with a software RAID 5 array (see URL:http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage/msg/f8479484a5254f5d for details). A few days ago the UPS battery conked out. Besides the battery alarm ringing every ten seconds...
