You're overthinking it a bit. The OS talks to the disk so for a disk-based
storage system it's all about how the disk is talking to the OS.
Mount your disk on a server as a filesystem, create a storage unit pointing
to that filesystem & your disk-based STU is complete. The commication path
between the OS & the filesystem, whether SCSI, FC, NAS, SAN, iSCSI, or
whatever, isn't known to Netbackup. It's just a mounted filesystem.
I figure you could share a filesystem on an SSO system if the OS took care
of the locking for you. You'd need NFS or come other sort of clustered
filesystem, though.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] "Disk" Storage Units using ATA/EME Disk
All,
I'm wanting to know from those using large Tb based disk based storage
systems (defined within Veritas DataCenter) if when configured on/through a
SAN/Switch if the backup data stream occurs over IP or over FC.
I'm familiar with SSO which when configured will stream your data over FC vs
IP.
How do you configure the use of large disk based storage units to stream
over FC and not IP since SSO can not be configured for use with disk based
storage units?
Thanks,
Scott J.
