I run a Storage Node on a Sun X4500 with Solaris 10 x86, but with NetWorker 7.4.1 with a 10GB ZFS advanced file type device. I use that device for staging backups to tape. It works well, except for one issue. If the advanced file type device is not in use, recovers from it work well. Unfortunately, I am not able to recover data while a scheduled backup is in progress and writing to it. I have a case open with EMC now about this. EMC says they put out a fix for that problem with NetWorker 7.4.1, but I suspect that when they put that fix out it was for Windows, not Solaris. In response to my case, they did some testing, but their testing was with the device sitting on a Windows and they were unable to replicate the problem. Yesterday, I asked EMC to test it in a configuration that's closer to what I am using, which they agreed to do right away, but I haven't heard back yet since yesterday on this case.

Stan,

Have you heard anything yet from EMC on this case? We are considering an identical configuration, and are very interested in the outcome. I did a search on Powerlink and only found 1 unrelated hit for X4500.

Try doing a search for "Solaris 10" and see what turns up. I haven't searched PowerLink, but I suspect its a simple matter of them porting over a fix from Windows to Solaris 10.

Stan,

Thanks very much.
