Re: [Networker] Networker 7.2.2 on Sun X4500 using AFTD and zfs
2008-03-25 14:13:17
We have been using the X4500 storage server in many projects as
storagenode without problems. The Solaris x64 as storagenode is a
supported plattform (they have even special licenses for it), and the
X4500 is a regular AMD CPU based system, not more, not less. I can not
imagine any reason why EMC telling it not being supported. I would not
lose any sleep over this either :-)

We had a similar problem but on v7.2.2 with ufs. The issue was that the
RO device was not in the correct pool. Once the advance file type
devices (both read/write and readonly) were both in the correct pool, we
could recover when backups were writing.
Guess what? I just received notification from EMC with exactly the
same recommendation and upon testing it, I find that it works. I am
now able to recover data from my advanced file type device while it is
receiving back up data. Unfortunately, EMC also informed me that they
do not support an X4500 with Solaris x86 as a NetWorker 7.4 Storage
Node. I have been using my X4500 as a storage node since late October
and I have recovered several terabytes worth of data off it (both tape
and disk), so I am not going to lose any sleep over this, but those
who are considering purchasing an X4500 for use as a Storage Node may
want to factor that into your decision.
