[Networker] benefit to including FC switch between server and jukebox? ( ! SAN backup envir.)
2005-12-21 09:56:25
All,
We have in mind a project to replace three disparate data zones with one (a
consolidation in other words.) Today the libraries are SCSI-attached and
all bkups are done over IP.
I'm planning to use four (4) LTO3 drives (over FC) inside an STK SL500
library. Are there benefits to going into a switch (i.e. Brocade 4100),
rather than directly hook the drives/robotics into the FC HBAs on the
server? Note that we are not doing SAN backups, i.e. the switch does not
see disks attached to other hosts.
TIA
