Vmware ESX / MSL4048 / dataprotector Zoning Question
We have an outstanding order @ HP for a new ESX 3.5 environment and we ran into some questions concerning ESX and MSL Tape libraries zoning with HP dataprotector
The setup: (every device is SAN connected)
5x Vmware ESX 3.5 Hosts
1x Dataprotector 6.1 server
1x EVA4400 with integrated switches
1x MSL4048 Tape library
Dataprotector will be implemented in a traditional way with agents with the VM's.
We are currently setting up the zoning and we where wondering if the ESX servers need to see the tape drives in the MSL since backup is going over the LAN through the Backup server?
So, do we need to add zones like (ESX1_HBA1 + MSL_LTO1 ...)
We're still doing the functional design so we can still change this anyway around, best practice offcourse.
Thx

Do you have some official support documents about this issue?
The design was made together with HP a few months ago?

The non-support _might_ change in future versions and no, I don't have any insider information.
I don't see a problem as the backup server which runs the DP media agent uses a standard OS like Windows, Linux, HP-UX, right?

In the mean time I've send out a question to our presales guy @ HP to have this checked.
Anyhow, the esx servers don't need to see the library, that's one thing... I thought so.
