Dear all,

Our company has just aquired a big shiny new HDS 9900 (Hitachi - rebadged by 
Sun) and a few Sun servers for a server consolidation project. We will be using 
the "shadowimage" snapshot software to implement our backups using NetWorker as 
the backup engine. Does anybody have any experiences, gotchas or other advice 
with regard to using Legato NetWorker in such an environment ? I've searched 
high and low but there seems to be a dearth of information about using HDS 
arrays with Legato, unless I've missed something blindingly obvious. The only 
thing I could find was some example utilities under 
http://nmhds.sourceforge.net This will certainly help when it comes to 
rewriting our home-grown NetWorker solution, but if anyone else has any useful 
experiences they can add I'd be most grateful.

Current environment :- NW6.1.3, lots of Sun storage nodes, directly attached 
DLT drives
New environment :- NW6.1.3, Sun backup server with LTO-2 drives in an L700 
jukebox, HDS 9900 storage array with "shadowimage" software.

[ As an aside, there's also a very nice "nar" utility at the URL above - sort 
of like "sar" but for NetWorker - haven't got it working yet though so can't 
comment ]

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Mick Wright
