Wow.. After all that I forgot to say I was using DDS. And Yes I have the proper licenses for DDS sharing of 4 drives to one remote storage node. The Win2k box shares all 4 drives that the Networker s

Kent, Perhaps it's time to start pulling out some cables. If possible, perhaps you could set up an environment as minimal as possible, with the Windows box cabled directly to the FC/SCSI router, and
Davina, How do you test that this is the problem? If this is the problem, how can it be resolved? Thanks. Teresa library. appears. Solaris is always more robust on a SAN because it supports SCSI rese
