We are thinking of adding a couple of storage nodes running on Sun

running in the following situation:
* Networker 7.2.2
* Solaris 10 on x86
* Advanced File Type devices running on ZFS file systems
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I run a Storage Node on a Sun X4500 with Solaris 10 x86, but with
NetWorker 7.4.1 with a 10GB ZFS advanced file type device. I use that
device for staging backups to tape. It works well, except for one
issue. If the advanced file type device is not in use, recovers from
it work well. Unfortunately, I am not able to recover data while a
scheduled backup is in progress and writing to it. I have a case open
with EMC now about this. EMC says they put out a fix for that problem
with NetWorker 7.4.1, but I suspect that when they put that fix out it
was for Windows, not Solaris. In response to my case, they did some
testing, but their testing was with the device sitting on a Windows
and they were unable to replicate the problem. Yesterday, I asked EMC
to test it in a configuration that's closer to what I am using, which
they agreed to do right away, but I haven't heard back yet since
yesterday on this case.
