I am looking to partition an Overland Neo2000 to be shared by a NetApp(825) and a backup server (ARCserve r11 w/ NDMP license). When you use the LPO (library partitioning option) in the Neo it loses the capability to run in sequential more - each partition can only be used in random access mode. Does anyone know how NDMP/NAS communicates with libraries/changers when directly attached? Do they need to be sequential changing devices are do they also support random access tape changers?
Thanks, Charlie
