Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup questions.
I have a couples on NetBackup questions.=20
We are upgrading our tape library to STK SL8500 with HP LTO2 tape drives =
(we now have a STK L700 with LTO1 drives, my media & master servers are =
W2K )=20
I am thinking of adding two Windows 2003 media server (ep-wpp-bs01 & =
ep-wpp-bs02) to replace the W2K servers (BSMEDIA1 & BSMEDIA2). Is there =
still a problem using Windows 2003 servers and will I have any issues =
with a W2K Master?=20
Also what would be the best way to add the LTO2 media to NetBackup =
during the migration form the old (HCART) library to the new?=20
Should I create a HCART2 Media type or keep the HCART since the LTO1 =
media will work in the LTO2 drives but I only want to use the LTO2 for =
all new backups=20
I also have a Fiber Channel question.=20
We have two fabrics a 1gb (see SAN layout attached) and a new 2GB =
fabric. Both libraries are attached to the 1GB fabric and we use SSO & =
Vault between sights.=20
The new LTO2 drives have a 2GB interface, so should I move all the =
backups to the 2GB fabric or just keep the LTO2 on the 1GB fabric. (My =
guess would be to keep them on the 1GB since I don't think we would be =
able to push that much information) =20
The data transfer peak performance doubles from up to 20MB/second native =
in LTO1 and up to 40MB/second in LTO2 =
