Backup over SAN
I'm desperately trying to get my SAN setup to run with BrightStor ARCserve v9 to run.
My all Compaq Setup looks like this:
ProLiant ML370 G2
64bit/66MHz FC HBA
FC SAN Switch 16-EL
NSR m2402
4 SDLT 110/220 TapeDrives in a 5U Array
Win2k and ARCserve see the tape drives and can format the mounted media. But as soon as I start a backup ARCserve reports a media disconnect and a controller failure or hardware error.
Now the rest of the SAN with RA4100 storage works just fine. I think the troublemaker is the storage router. Not sure if it's configured correctly, actually works quite automatic.
But I noticed that the 4 tape drive get the same TargetID within Win2k. Can that work?
As when connected directly to the server over SCSI they all get e separate TargetID and backup works flawlessly.
Anybody got this setup to run?!?
TIA

Re: Backup over SAN
If so, and formatting and erasing is fine, then yes, I'd bee looking at the data router/fibre/SCSI bridge, firmware and settings. What firmware do you have in the NSR? This setup normally works fine with BAB9.

Re: Backup over SAN
What you have should work fine: with the SAN option installed, BAB Device Manager will show four drives, with the same SCSI ids, but different LUNs. If you can format/erase but not backup to the drives, I'd be looking at the NSR: check firmware, settings etc.
Worth checking through the certified device list on support.ca.com for supported firmware/drivers on your HBAs, NSR and tape drives. There has been an append issue with a revision of f/w for the SDLT1 drive, fixed by a later firmware revision.

Re: Backup over SAN
Verify if your environment is in the supportability matrix in SAN & CA ArcServe.

http://esupport.ca.com/index.html?/public/storage/ascdls.asp

I don't think NSR is the culprit here but more of the fact that the Compaq 64bit HBA itself may not be in supported list if you want to do a SAN backup.
