Does anyone uses a EMC DL7xx or falconstore directly here ?

[Novelli]

Hi,

is anybody running a EMC DL 300, 700, 710,720,740 or a system with falconstore in combination with some other storage (at the end the same) ?

We need to compare something.

Thx for reply

Hi,
we substituted the ciksco switch in the meantime temorarly with a brocade but the errors on ourt site are still the same..

If anybody having Networker on Solaris and a EMC CDL (DL300/700/710/720/740) can you pls run that command on the networker server and tell me if you see any errors ?

more /nsr/logs/daemon.log|egrep "retry|full|failed|Error|error|I/O|out|warning|mismatch|Warning|abort|Abort|disabled|Disabled|re-setting|deactivating|crash"
