I received couple of mails, now that we have decided to go for a unique vendor
probably JNI HBA cards. Thanks for all your suggestions and support.

Arun,
We ran into a similar problem at our site. We were using Qlogic cards an E420
to talk to the SAN with SSO , the other
media servers were W2K with another brand of HBA card. After carefully setting
up the binding information, we would lose
the binding after every re-boot of the Solaris system. Our Veritas guy said
that is is not a good idea to mix vendors for
HBA cards.
We ended up choosing another option and decided not to use the Solaris box as a
media server with the SSO.
This probably doesn't help much, but at least you know you aren't alone.
Many things could cause the backup delay. Be sure it is not a network issue by
checking your NIC settings.
You may need to configure for 100FDX with no autonegotiate for your switches.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Issue with sg links?
Hi All,
Recently our Sun V480R running Solaris 8 was configured for NB 4.5. We have
done persistent binding for Crossroad routers with the Qlogic HBA's. Every
thing is running fine, when i run 'sgscan' i can see the list of all my 14LTO
drives but once i do a reboot on the server, the LTO's are not visible to
'sgscan' though /dev/sg has all the entries. Now i am running 'sg.install' and
getting back the LTO's visible to 'sgscan', i am doing this on every reboot.
Has any one encountered the same problem before or am i missing something to do
after running sg.install ?
Since yesterday i'm facing another problem i.e. a delay of more than 8 minutes
in bringing the backups to queue state after initiating, although my restores
are starting within seconds period of time. Any help/comments is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
-Arun
