Guys has anyone heard of trying to have resilient Tape drives over
fiber? Someone came and asked me saying a new install was going to be
specced having dual hba's providing 2 paths to the fiber attached tape
drives. Im talking Solaris here and an L500 with LTO2 drives.
I immediately couldnt see how it could work as Netbackup writes to tape
using the /dev/rmt/ devices presented on solaris. I know using disks and
mpxio etc you can multipath i/o to disks but is it possible to tape? I
just don't want to have told him we shouldn't be doing things like that
as its not possible in case it is.
Cheers
