<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have a couples on NetBackup 
questions.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are upgrading our tape library to
STK SL8500 with HP LTO2 tape drives (we now have a STK L700 with LTO1 drives,
my media &amp; master servers are W2K )</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am thinking of adding two Windows
2003 media server (ep-wpp-bs01 &amp; ep-wpp-bs02) to replace the W2K servers
(BSMEDIA1 &amp; BSMEDIA2). &nbsp;Is there still a problem using Windows
2003 servers and will I have any issues with a W2K Master?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Also what would be the best way to add
the LTO2 media to NetBackup during the migration form the old (HCART) library
to the new?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Should I create a HCART2 Media type
or keep the HCART since the LTO1 media will work in the LTO2 drives but
I only want to use the LTO2 for all new backups</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I also have a Fiber Channel question.
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We have two fabrics a 1gb (see SAN layout
attached) and a new 2GB fabric. &nbsp;Both libraries are attached to the
1GB fabric and we use SSO &amp; Vault between sights.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The new LTO2 drives have a 2GB interface,
so should I move all the backups to the 2GB fabric or just keep the LTO2
on the 1GB fabric. &nbsp;(My guess would be to keep them on the 1GB since
I don't think we would be able to push that much information) &nbsp;</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The data transfer peak performance doubles
from up to 20MB/second native in LTO1 and up to 40MB/second in LTO2</font><font
