Regarding zoning, you should define one zone for each FC adapter (port).
As you do not specify backup volumes there is no way to recommend how to
allocate drives between the Netapp, backup server and storage node..
DDS drives should be regarded as "on demand" drives that are shared
between a few hosts.
The less DDS drives you have, you have a simpler configuration.
You should try not to zone more than 2 LTO2 drives to one FC port
(unless 4Gb port).

Subject: [Networker] Net APP_DDS_SAN Configuration
Hello,
Does any one has documented plan\configuration with Networker 7.2.1 + ,
FC attached library ( ours is i2k-ADIC).
I am looking for Best practice, info, tips etc.
Our confusion is over, how to attached, zone FC drive in DDS enviroment
to backup Netapp Filer 3000* series.
Should we dedicate non DDS drives to Netapp Filer, or should we use DDS
drives, how will storage node and server share drives ?
What should we be aware or, avoid or configure ? Besides what's in admin
Guide ?
if you have any documentation you can share with me it will be greatly
apprecated, you can email me directly.
Thanks
Our enviroment:
Windows 2003 64 Dell PE 6850 server.
All windows client
i2K with FC LTO2 drives, FC attached to Brocade Switches.
8 total drives, 4 DDS licences.
1 Storage node, 1 master server.
