Folks,
=20
     We are preparing to build a new Master/media server.  It will be a
SUN V440 w/ 4-1.06 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 4-36 GB Ultra320 SCSI (internally
mirrored for 2), 2 GigE MMF fiber cards, 2- Dual FC interface and 1 PCI
dual channel Ultra 3 diff SCSI host adapter. Attached externally will be
a SUN StorEdge D2 Ultra160 SCSI 4-36 GB drives to start (mirrored).  Our
intent is to have the internal drives only for OS and swap and to use
the D2 for the netbackup and DB.  The silo (either an ADIC Scalar 2000
or a Quantum PX720), will be connected via a set of the FCs.  The OS
will be Sol 9.0 (secured) and initially the VERITAS app will be 4.5
FP5/6 with a planned upgrade to 5.1 when available if proven reliable.
=20
     We are looking for any suggestions, recommendations, warnings, etc
that may be available based upon your experiences.  Including, any
'tweaks' to the OS as we have done on our current solution (an E3000 /
STK 9710) and have shared in previous mailings.
=20
     Our current thoughts are to build the system - test - debug - test
- approve and then to begin redirection of clients on a scheduled basis
from the old to the new.  We do not intend to migrate the catalogue
over.  Instead we will retain both units active until the bulk of the
media is expired and then 'import' any minimal tapes that remain.
=20
     Again - your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
