https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/san-problem/m-p/2935191#M7752 <P>Hi<BR />I have configured a small SAN in our test enviroment for SAN backup testings.<BR /><BR /><BR />Two Compaq Proliant DL380R G3 X2800x2 with Qlogic QLA2310F HBA. One of this run W2000 sp2 and the other NetWare 6.0 NW6SP2.<BR /><BR />One MSL 5030 library with Compaq E1200 Storage router.<BR /><BR />One Qlogic SanBox 2 switch.<BR /><BR />The servers and the storage router is connected to separate ports (F-ports) on the switch (router: port 0, W2000: port1, NetWare: port 2). The ports is zoned as follow: <BR />Zone a: 0-1<BR />Zone b: 0-2<BR /><BR /><BR />When no backup is running the Windows port is silent. But on the NetWare port there is always some traffic. About once evry hour I get some errors and LIPs on the NetWare port (see the attached file for the NetWare port statistics) .<BR /><BR />If a backup is running when this occurs the backup fails.<BR /><BR />Is it a configuration problem with the HBA or a NetWare problem (or perhaps some other problem) ?<BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN style="line-height: 15px;">P.S.
