Hi,
we tried using DiskXtender in a clustered w2k environment, after the resources
were moved
to the standby node, fetch of files on tape randomly does not work, although the
services are on line.
Another thing, the normal backup window was 4 hours for that cluster, now it's
12 hours
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

We too run this on a Win2000 server and have noticed slow fetch times. Just
after implementing we had to install 2 new drives in our 3584Lib to handle
the new throughput. We had to turn off Journaling on servers with
filespaces monitored by OTG; the inspected amounts were through the roof and
thus the backup times were as well.

Almost the same environment that we have currently and the biggest issues
are that when you need to fetch file back to disk
it will use all of the tape drives that are available.
Another issue is that we were on a daily conference call for out system
with DiskXtender2000 running
and when DiskXtender2000 was fetching files we had issues with the CIFS
share becoming unavailable
daily and some days many time having this issue. Not pretty for the user
base on a production machine.

FYIYes I am running DiskXtenderon a Windows powered (w2k) Nas 300G with 11
million files and I am not Pleased
at all with the response times when we have to fetch files from tape. Using
Tivoli Storage Manger ion the back end,
have been running it for about 2 years.
