Thanks Ken, I'll certainly mention your name if I contact them. Iain

Thank you both for the tips, very helpful. We are in the UK Chris so I'm sure I could find a similar operation over here if need be? Cheers. Iain

Hi all Does anyone have any experience in keeping legacy systems running after Sun have de-supported them. We have a 6320 disk array and are thinking about keeping it running without Sun/Oracle help. Seems a shame to bin it. Is there any experience of this out there and do you have some tips...

Got it working thanks. Needed to upgrade to MP7 at the least level.... Cheers.

Hi there. I have installed the media server (5.1) software on to a new server (solaris 10) and I seem to be having a little difficulty. If I check what MM processes are running I only see the vmd process. How do I get bprd, ltid and bpdbm to run? Is there more I need to do following install -...

Ok I'll see if I can get some money to spend....thanks a lot Martin.

Well at the moment with the scsi LTO3 we're getting around 11mb a second and thats using Veritas Netbackup which compresses as it goes (if the files arent already compressed..)

It does do the job, I just wondered if the performance of fibre was way better... Thanks for the response.

mrjazz - help. Have now connected up the tape drives but still cant see them. If i do a probe-scsi-all I dont see them and so I cant see any sign of them in the OS. It seems to see the PCIexpress card but not the drives. I have tried to a cfgadm -c configure c10 and c11 to no avail. See...

Sorry didint notice your respone til now. We have 2 HP LTO3 drives.

Sorry for not responding mrjazz, after further investigation I am now waiting for a scsi hba card for the server so that I can hook up the drives. I had thought that all (drives and changer) would be seen through the fibre changer card. Clueless I know. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I currently have 2 tape drives directly attached to my backup server by scsi cable. Is it worth changing to fibre connection? Will my backups go seriously quicker or is it restricted by how quickly the drive itself can write to tape? Any experiences of this out there? Thanks.

mrjazz - thanks. I may be completely stupid but do the tape drives have a fibre connection of their own ?(I have only one coming from the changer...) Otherwise I have done the cfgadm bit though I see there are 2 on c2 and c4 unconfigured.

Hi thanks for the response. StorageTek PCI-X enterprise 4Gb FC HBA > cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition SB0 System_Brd connected configured ok SB0::cpu0 cpu connected...

Me again. I should have added that the library is attached via fibre rather than scsi...

Hello all. I have attached a StorageTek SL500 tape unit to a solaris 10 server(M4000). I've tried the usual "reboot -- -r" and devfsadm etc commands however I still cant see the (LTO3) tape drives from the server. The /dev/rmt directory is empty as well. What do I need to do to see the tape...

Thanks.

Thanks a lot Maximus.

Hi all. I have a new Solaris 10 box (M4000) that I want to hook up to my SAN (6320). My questions are: Do I need to install SAN Foundation software or is that included in Solaris 10 ? Do I need to install Sun Storedge 6000 Host Software on the server? Any help/tips would be much appreciated...
