Hello,
We have NetApp F740. For backups we are using Budtool 4.6.1 with two media servers (Sun's) and tape library connected to them. Right now, when we are doing backups, all data bits are flying over the network from the NetApp to the media server and finally to the tape.
I'm curious, if we can connect one SCSI channel from the tape library to the NetApp? And a) use it as NDMP media server b) eliminate data transfer over the network while doing NetApp backups.
Any hidden traps?
So, we are basically want to replace one media server with a NetApp. And my main concerns is how well NetApp is going to work this way.
Can I use all those jbmgr commands to load and unload tapes there? Will index tables be updated correctly on main Budtool server?
Thank you.
