Hello,

I would like more informations on SAN Media Server (NB 5.1).

How does it work ?

Here is my current environment:
- HP EVA 8000 SAN Storage providing LUNs to Windows servers,
- VMWare ESX servers with vmotion also connected to the EVA 8000.

I'm currently backing up Windows servers and VM througt a Netbackup client installed on them.

In order to reduce network utilization, I would like to backup the SAN directly.

If we connect a Netbackup "client" machine (with SAN Media Server ?) into the EVA, is it able to access directly the LUNs in read only mode in order to perform LAN Free backups ?

If not, what does SAN Media Server exactly do ? :p
And how to do LAN Free backups with NetBackup ? (excluding the use of NDMP: EVA 8000 doesn't support it).


Thanks.

Olivier
