linux backup across SAN

[Brent DeGennaro]

We're attempting to backup our Linux boxes across the SAN but have had no luck so far. Does anyone know what drivers we need to have installed? Here's a little info about our set up.

Data Protector 5.1

ESL9322 Library

e1200 Network Storage Router

Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS

Emulex LightPulse LPFC Driver Version: 4.20q
HBA: Emulex LightPulse LP950 1 Gigabit PCI Fibre Channel Adapter

$ /sbin/lsmod

bonding 56628 2
md 66336 0 (unused)

I can start the backup session and a tape is loaded into the drive but nothing is ever written to the tape. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
