We have been using Compaq Blade servers as Media servers in a
SSO environment and believe the integrated HBA's (w/ qlogic chip set)
may be the source of our grief (loosing tape drives, then finding them
again with a different index/path). The Blade servers are running
Win2000 and the NetBackup ver is 4.5. Each HBA has it's own zone in the
SAN and can not see other HBA's and only the tape drives in it's zone.
"Persistent Binding" is set on all the HBA's using a custom SANserfer
utility we were provided by HP that allows us to use persistent binding,
but we still have this problem.=20
We went to Veritas and HP to ask If they had anyone who is using
the Compaq Blade servers as Media servers with SAN attached tape drives.
They could not find any customers using this configuration.=20
My question is... Is anyone out there using Compaq Blade servers
as NetBackup Media servers or even tested this configuration?
