Hi,

I have two questions.I have SAM 3.5 Basic and a tape drive to backup onto.

1. I want to backup MD110 over WAN using MDDT. The NIU has been assigned an IP address. After one successful attempt at connection,other attempts fail. On resetting the IP address of the NIU it works fine again for one attempt.What can be the problem?

2. I want to backup another MD110 serially using the MDDT Tool. What is the procedure & what do i need?

Thanks.
 
Hi,
Q.2: IMHO, serially you could do the backup using X-modem feature in WinFIOL. But it's slow, as I guess. MDDT is better with SCSI. IPU supports it. But if you have NIU on that MD, what the MDDT for?
 
Hi

You should be using SAM 3.7 Service pack 3 build 8.
The NIU1 should be firmware revision R17a.
If you are using NIU2 the firmware should be R6a.
If you copy files using Xmodem it can take up to 1 hour to copy 1 mb of data at 9600 baud via a modem.
You can raise the speed on NIU to 38400 baud ,but it is the Xmodem checking that slows things down.
