Re: [Veritas-bu] Trying to use NBU SAN Client

James,

Here is the list of documents that you may find useful for configuring SAN Client:

Section “SAN Client and Fibre Transport” in Shared Storage Guide (Introduction and Configuration steps)

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290238.htm

SAN Client Deployment - Best Practices and Performance Metrics (Dos and Don’ts of configuration and best practices)

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/293110.htm

Device Configuration Guide (OS specific configuration steps for SAN Clients)

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290200.htm

SAN Client and Fibre Transport Troubleshooting Guide

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/288437.htm

What is the exact issue that you are running into?

Also, are you planning on using QLogic 2385 cards on Fiber Transport Media Servers as well? These cannot be used as Target HBAs on FT Media Servers.

A list of HBAs that are supported in Target mode can be found in the NetBackup Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/284599.htm

You might also like to look at the 6.5.3 doc updates. There are some additional references in there under the 6.5.2 section.

Look for the Shared Storage Guide, should be technote 318351.

Section 5 talks all about setting up the SAN client stuff.

Is there a setup doc. for SAN Client for NBU. I have the troubleshooting Guide and best practices for Deployment, But at a loss to get it to work.

We have a Solaris 10 Master/Media server 6130 SAN Device, with Qlogic 2385 cards on all servers, with several Windows, Solaris servers attached to the SAN device. Enterprise Lic. Key is installed. Thanks.
