Stefan,
Backup Configurations that include Windows 2003 servers,
StorPort Fibre Channel drivers (either Emulex or QLogic)
and Legato NetWorker have the following configuration requirements
and open issues:
1. All EBS/StorPort configurations require, at minimum, the version of
the
StorPort.sys driver distributed by Microsoft as QFE837413.
2. With QFE837413 installed, the Windows 2003 Device Manager will
display
tape drive logical device handles in inverse order.
For example, assume the Windows 2003 server is connected to a four-drive
tape library. Windows Device Manager will display the first device as
Tape3,
the second device as Tape2, the third device as Tape1, and the fourth
device
as Tape0. When configuring the tape library for use with Legato
NetWorker
(via jbconfig), you must specify the devices in inverse order (ie. The
first
device in the library is \\.\Tape3, the second device is \\.\Tape2,
etc.). This
issue has ben corrected with the StorPort.sys driver released by
Microsoft in
QFE838894 (Storport.sys dated 5/10/2004).
3. Windows 2003 servers running StorPort.sys do not support the Legato
NetWorker commands jbconfig, jbedit, or inquire. These commands must be
run from a different server in the configuration that is configured with
legacy
SCSIport.sys drivers. This issue is present in Legato NetWorker v7.1.1
and
v7.1.2 and will be resolved in a future release.
4. Devices that are hosted by a NetWorker server running StorPort
drivers
cannot be edited in the NetWorker Administrator GUI. This issue has been
corrected with the StorPort.sys driver released by Microsoft in
QFE838894.
