[Veritas-bu] HOW TO EMC and SAN? (version)

Is your intent to write backup images to disk?  I'm afraid I don't
understand your question.

If you're wanting to write images to tape, you need to create a disk storage
unit (or units).

Make a filesystem from your disks - it's easiest to combine the disks using
some sort of volume management software (VxVM) into a single filesystem &
mount it with a name, for example "/images".

Then, using the GUI for ease, create a new storage unit.  One choice in the
creation process is to choose a "disk" type storage unit.  You then supply
the "/images" name as the destination.  Bounce the daemons to pick up the
new storage unit & you're done.  You can assign that disk STU to a backup
class just like any other STU.

If this isn't what you're looking for, please clarify your question & post
back.

At this time, we are using tape robots exclusively...

I didn't receive any info on using disk in the NBU training class

:0(

Can anyone point me in the right direction to resources concerning EMC, NBA
and SAN?

Thanks!
