Some background.
Have an old UNIX (IRIX 6.5) server with Legato Networker 7.1.1, Tapelibrary is a StorageTek L700 with IBM LTO1 Tape drives. This system is now due for termination, and i would like to install a new windows server (Windows 2003) with a small library. the library i have available is a HP MSL8096 with LTO3 Drives.
According to EMC the media database can be moved to the windows server, but is not supported. So we are aiming to do a scan of the tapes from the old system in case a restore will be needed.
So her is my challange:
The tapes used on the old backup system cannot be read on a windows backup system, i think i have tried every combination of OS an SP (Windows 2000, 2003) LTO1 and LTO3. Changed blocksize on OS and Networker level, added support for larger than 96k blocksize on windows (MaximumSGList). The tape label still cannot be identefied...
Anyone that can help me with this? I will be wery happy.
Thanks.
