Backup Central

Hi all,


Only a few question:

In a SAN enviroment , is it mandatory that my Legato server have a HBA =
conected to the SAN ?
It=C2=B4s necesary that my LEgato Server can see the SAN ?

Can I have the "control port" of library conected directly to my =
Networker server by SCSI in a SAN enviroment with 3 Storage Nodes?


Thanks in advance

David,
Yes you can, nothing wrong with doing it that way. You will need to =
have something connected to your server, though (but I suspect you have =
another device as well?).

Hi David,

No, the server doesn't need to be SAN attached even though your backup=20
architecture is SAN attached.

The library's control/robotics port can be connected to the server by any m=
eans=20
(SCSI, SAN, etc) even though the drives may be SAN attached. You can mix a=
nd=20
match the SCSI and SAN attached drives w/in the library w/o any problems.

HOWEVER, the legato server _must_ have at least one tape device connected t=
o it=20
(whether by SCSI, SAN, etc) because by definition a server is also a storag=
e=20
noge.

No, but it must be connected to some kind of backup device so that it =
can
backup the media db, indexes, and res files.

No
