Mine is using the bridges. 10 IBM Ultrium drives shared between one Unix
master/media and 8 NT SAN media servers. Pain and pain and pain until the
config was truly nailed down, and smooth sailing ever since.

Hi

Are you mixing the same set drives to be shared among NT and Sun Media
Servers in a SSO environment?  I think that's what your email stated but
I just could not tell if you were saying that you had multiple L700e or
a single 700e.   

And to be honest, every  mixed config that I can recall implementing
over the last year usually used a library that had a fiber to scsi
bridge, they were not direct fiber attached like the 700e.  You got me
thinking now ... maybe it's these damn bridges that have been causing
the issues in my mixed environments.

Interesting, thanks


Sean

We have 14 LTO drives with 3 brocade switches happily shared among 8
unix media servers and 9 NT media servers. We haven't even rolled out
the gigabit and 100 Mbit IP clients which go thru the master's 5 LTO
drives. Scheduling and time windows provides more headaches than the
plugin/zone configuration or HBA/firmware/patch matrix, tho
admittedly that was a major logjam a few months ago. 

Master: Solaris 8
Medias: Win2k & Solaris 2.6/8
NB Version:     4.5 MP3
Library:        Sun L700e
