hi,
what kind of problem did you have?
general rule is to put no more than two SDLT on one scsi channel or if possible, put just one per bus, this will avoid conflicts and lost of performances, This setting could avoid scsi bus reset with failure of backup jobs as well

Hi,
Have you configured networking for the router so you can acess the router from a web browser ?

The most common "problem" with the router is the "Default map", it is set to "Indexed" and should be changed to "Auto assigned" (or you have to create an Indexed map). Log in to the router from a web browser, click on the FC port on the router image and change the Default map with the drop-down menu.
