Hi - we're currently going through an RFP and have shortlisted to NetApp VTL1400 and the EMC 4206 EDL and would really like to hear what others have experienced with these. Thanks for any info you can provide (gotchas, issues, performance, etc.)

Hi, I'm running a SAN environment that has tripled in the last 1.5 - 2 years and I'm trying to get an idea of what other companies storage allocation processes are. Right now for us the request just comes through a remedy ticket and I assign it to someone but you have a lot of people stepping on...

I have an application using Windows 2003 that can only read from a single drive letter (no subdirectories so no using DFS). Does anyone know any way to make multiple drives to create 1 large drive? We are currently using a Netapp 3050c and we're trying to keep it as 2TB volumes given to the host...

Thanks backupscripts, that's a great idea.

bpACH, Thanks. I was kind of looking for an idea on how to get more copies of the backup image that are usable for a restore since the database would need to be down for a backup. Thanks

As part of a datacenter move we're looking to refresh (restore) a bunch of databases from a production backup. Is there a way to be able to make a certain backup available for multiple restores without having to re-run the backup a bunch of times. These will be HPUX media servers and an HPUX...

Actually no. They are legato commands and only work in a pfksh shell.

I have a PERL script that makes some command calls on a a solaris server. I'm trying to find a way to select a shell to use within the script so that the commands will run. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm a little confused. I do have 1 library - 3494lib1 with a bunch of virtual jukeboxes. So I need to add the tape to k2dmzabk1. Each of the above has their own tapes that I have to assign daily. So what would the command be? See, usually I'll: ssh k2dmzabk1 "nsrjb -s cdavisqa1 -a -T #####" But...

K2dmzabk1 is the hostname of the storage node that I'm trying to do this for. If I went into jbconfig would this show the names? Or is there some output from nsradmin that would show you this information? Here's some output below: $ /usr/sbin/nsradmin -i - << EOF show name print type: nsr...

How would I go about finding the Jukebox name? When I go to Media -> Devices that is the name that comes up for the jukebox. I've even tried with just k2dmzabk1, removing just the rd=, etc. Any tips? Thanks.

I'm looking to use nsrjb -x -T from the networker server to remove a tape on a storage node without having to ssh. So using the following command I get an error: nsrjb -x -j 'rd=abc:3494lib1' -s xyz-T O02059 nsrjb: error, No jukebox named `rd=abc:3494lib1' Anybody have any recommendations...

Basically, what happens is that I have 2 Legato servers that share scratch tapes. Unfortunately, and I'm sure many people have the same problem, my tape operators are not very good at keeping the scratch tapes separate from the live tapes. How would auto mgmt work in this case. This is a quick...

I'm talking about making a scratch tape a part of the pool. I've seen messages in legato "labeling without mount". My problem is, sometimes there is a problem on our server where there are no tapes available for a pool. So what happens is that you have to watch the backup and once the tape gets...

Is there a way to label tapes without loading the tapes by command line? Any help would be great. Thanks!
