Re: Want to take the tape backup
That is right . i can disble the dp and take the backup of my server. But the thing is that my server is not showing any tape drive in ioscan -fnC tape or anywhere .
This server is just the client . I used to fire offline backups on this . It is not detecting any tape drives .( Some of my servers are showing the tapes which are conneted to san switch . Is there any confuguration which i need to do in sanswitch .
Thanks .

Hi ,
In refrences to you above post, you told that the server which you want to make Ignite backup, also connected to MSL 4048
ioscan -fnC tape should show you currently connected tape drive (if mentioned earlier by you which was confiugred under DP)
Things to do.
# insf -e
# ioscan -fnC tape --> check for the tape drive path which configured under DP.
or you can also check from
disbale the backup Jobs running from DP for the mentioned server. so that it wouldn't clash with you Ignite backup or you choce to perform the Ignite backup after your DP backup as been completed.
Thanks,
Johnson

Re: Want to take the tape backup
This means there are no tape drives attached to your system and DP is running your backup over the network. To use the tape drive, you first need a fiber card in this server, then configure it in the SAN switch, and run ioscan and insf to create the device files. Talk to your SAN administrator about adding your server to the switch fabric.
