Dear Gyula and Mark,

Thanks for your answers.
I managed to solve the mentioned problem. Now, I can use the QUERY SAN
command successfully. I had to choose the appropriate versions of HBA driver
and SNIA HBAAPI (qlsdm.dll file).
Now, I try to work step by step. My next aim is to do a LAN-FREE backup
instead of SERVER-free.
I think, I configured everything (drives, library,...), but the backup data
always go through the LAN. And there isn't any error.
But I realized a strange thing. The QUERY LIBRARY says, that the library is
shared, however if I see it with the web management interface, I can't see
any library under the "Shared Libraries" page. Is it possible?

GY

My understanding is, based on the V5.1 Administrator's Guide (windows),
that server-free backups can be done through a datamover device without
SANergy. It has really specific requirements tho, therefore I'm not 100%
sure that the HBA he mentioned supports it.
Should check the SAN GW microcode level too.
