Veritas requires the drives in the library to be either directly attached to a filer, or attached to another filer. On the second issue, each F760 is able to support up to four tape drives, an F740 can support 2 and our newer F840 can support up to 8, so it depends on the model of
Hrm. I didn't know that. I guess hooking up a larger Adic Scalar 1000 with more than 4 drives to a filer would be a waste of time then, if it only supports 4 drives.
This is where allowing NDMP to dump to a remote tape library is very important, because systems such as I support require more than 4 drives and having local tapes drives on filers is not really feasible.
