    "The issue is currently all the SLP is running via LAN and not FT. I wonder why since both the disk and tape library are connected to master server. And to think that tape drive is on FC but data transfer to LAN is just doesn't make sense to me."

     

    There is no LAN involved here as there is only one server, your master server. It has both storage and tape connected. There is nowhere for the data to go except from disk to tape.

     

    You don't need to worry about this.

Hi Pat,

Thanks for the reply. Now that make sense. How about the zoning?

Previously we have this zone config:

  • Master Server - Initiator (16GB HBA)
  • Tape Library - Target

And now we have this zone config:

  • Master Server - Initiator (16GB)
  • Master Server - Target (4GB)
  • SAN Storage 1 port 1 - Initiator/Target
  • SAN Storage 2 port 1- Initiator/Target
  • Tape Library - Target

 

Will it be ok to leave the new config as it is?

 

By the way, this is newly setup environment so we still haven't really get the overall speed for duplication. It just bother us that the transport type is showing LAN instead of FT.
