What is the port called where we connect RA cable on MCData switch ?
No, nothing special has to be done at the McData end unless you are doing long-haul, dark fibre or managed service. If so you will want to consider the 10/100km option to ensure enough BB-Credits. What is the technology you're using for ISL? IP, DWDM etc? I'm assuming you've created a zone for... -
Cannot see new san disks on windows 2000 in explorer
Just curious, you say you configure everything through disk manager (assuming partitioning/formatting etc) and it all looks ok. Then you try to access the new volumes via explorer but they are not there. Are you doing this through Terminal Services by any chance? If so, I've come across this... -
L700 connected to a McData ED-6064 Director
Thats interesting. We're in the process of purchasing an L700e which will be connected to our SAN (all McData). Our core is multiple Connectrix DS-64M(McData 6064) and we will be purchasing an edge switch (again McData, probably 24port) specifically for tape/backup host connectivity... -
L700 connected to a McData ED-6064 Director
I haven't looked for the previous question, but I'm also interested in the the answer to this question. Why can't the L700 be connected to a 6064?. Curious! Brian. -
NAS persistent mappings
Eric, Yeah, I knew about the UNC method but was hoping that there was possibly a way of doing it as a network map before login. NetApps have a nice piece of software that installs on client systems as a Virtual Disk Driver allowing the remote NAS volume to be seen and managed via LDM. I was... -
Brightstor Enterprise Backup
We have had similar experiences with db corruption when reaching the 6/7GB range with 10.0. After going through a couple of painful months we decided to put MS-SQL in place and have had no problems whatsoever since. Our SQL server is happily operating with a 16GB ASDB database. We also noted a...- isom67

NAS persistent mappings
Although I have a very good understanding of how NAS/SAN environments work I've been trying to figure out how best to approach this problem. What I'm trying to do is figure out how to make a server (windows 2k) map a drive letter to a NAS appliance share(not yet configured but will probably be... -
Slow backups
I find it interesting that 'et0' is having the same problem. Is 'et0' using an fibre to scsi MDR or fibre to scsi converters? Over the last couple of days we've direct scsi attached 4 x DLT8000 (two per initiator) and we're seeing excellent throughput, avg 300-500 per job (4 jobs concurrent)...- isom67

Slow backups
Yes, 70Mb/m per job with 8 concurrent jobs active. We can see reasonable throughput when one job is active (400-500) but the throughput just drops off when additional jobs go active. The fibre connection is 1Gb (single hba via san to MDR) and checking the stats I've never seen the utilization...- isom67

Slow backups
I've recently started working in an environment that uses BEB 10 to perform backups. The target library is an 8 drive compaq library with DLT8000's. There is one backup host which is attached across a SAN (EMC Connectrix) to a compaq MDR and then the library. This one host is responsible for...- isom67
