HOW TO - configure a SAN based Tape Drive and Libr on a 5220 Appliance

Hope you have the SAN switch in place and below will be the configuration:

1) Connect the appliance FC cable to the SAN switch. Read page 95 of adming guide about "backup to tape support for Netbackup Appliances"
On Netbackup 5200 slot 3 is always used for connection to a tape library(tape out)

2) The library and drives should already be connected to the SAN switch.

3) Once you have done the above connection you have to do zoning.

 I understand that zoning of tape drive and libr is required but how to go about selecting the HBA port and locating a WWPN from the appliance to zone and the following steps.

Normally when a HBA is connected to Switch you can see the HBA in the san switch itself to do the configuration. If you want to see the wwn on appliance do the below stpes

On the appliance go to Manage->FiberChannel->Show

FC HBA card(s) are configured correctly.
**** FC HBA Cards ****
05:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02)
05:00.1 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02)

**** Drivers ****

windrvr6    is not loaded

**** Ports ****
Bus ID  Slot  Port WWN                Status        Mode        Speed    Remote Ports

05:00.1 Slot3 21:00:00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Linkdown      Initiator   8 gbit/s      

Once zoning and configuration is done do the Scan

On the appliance go to Manage->FiberChannel->Scan and you should be able to see the configuration.

Run the device configuration wizard on the master server to configure the robot and devices the way you do in normal setup.
