Hi all
Anybody out there with x64 Windows SSO media servers on
6.5.x that can share success story?
We have a media server with Emulex HBA’s and IBM LTO2
as well as HP LTO3 drives. Obviously we had to install manufacturers’
drivers.
When another media server (Solaris and/or Tru64) had one of
these drives in use, the drive went into ‘MISSING’ state on the
Wx64 media server. The only way to fix it, was to rescan when no drives were in
use. In a 24x7 environment this was not possible and this media server
eventually became unusable.
This media server was recently re-installed with 32-bit O/S,
exact same hardware – only difference was that we could install Veritas
tape drivers. All the previous problems ‘magically’ disappeared…
We have more customers that need to use Wx64 media servers
in SSO environment… Would like to hear other users’ experience…
Kind Regards
Marianne
