Hi all,
I am in the process of setting up a Fiber Transport Media Server to perform backups from our SAN. I just read that one of the requirements is for a special Sun badged (Qlogic) HBA.
By accident I ran across some documentation that said to put the HBA card in a 133MHz PCI slot. Well, none of our Sun V240s has a 133mhz. All are 33mhz & 66mhz.
I do have a V245 that has one 133mhz slot. So my question is, does anyone have any experience in this area? By that I mean will this configuration even work? The reason I am asking is that I have to ask the customer to pay for the HBA card for the server. All of the other clients have the HBAs in the 33mhz slot. I didn't want to purchase it and end up looking like an idiot if it won't even work.
I tried Veritas support and they told me I must have some "old servers" and they didn't know for sure if it would work. And they did not recommend running it on 33/66mhz.
Any suggestions/help is appreciated!!
