Hello. Does anyone have any word on when LTO 5 drives will be
supported in OnTap ?
I'm getting an evaluation unit in a few days and was hoping to see it
work with my FAS3040 with FC connections. I've never had FC tape drives
on this 3040, the FC card has just sat there unused. I have had LTO3
SCSI drives attached to it.
Does anyone have any experience with just connecting a new tape drive to
an unused FC port like this ? I would like to think that the worst that
would happen is that the 3040 just wouldn't see it, but I guess a filer
panic could happen.
We are a bit behind the OnTap curve, we are still at 7.2.6.1P3. We went
to 7.3.1, but got hit with a filer panic loop due to linux clients
hitting it with the rquota bug, so we had to downrev back. That was a
while ago, but its left a bad taste for 7.3 for us..
Thanks,
Paul
