Hello,
We are going to buy a netapp 3140, and use it for D2D...2T save with
networker.
Question:
Once we've saved on adv_file on the netapp array, is it possible to stage
it to an direct attach (to the netapp) tape lib, with everything traced in
media database ?
If networker writes the data to the netapp (on an adv_file device (AFTD)), and the netapp then
moves that data to a physical tape in the tape library attached to the netapp -- NetWorker is
going to think the data (saveset) is still on the netapp on the AFTD, and if the netapp doesn't
transparently bring that data back to that AFTD when networker tries to open it, you're system
is broken badly.
I may be mistaken, but this is the same whole VTL's with directly attached tape drives fall
into when they move data to a tape library attached directly attached to them without NetWorker
knowing it happened. And that way is the dark side and despair.
