I've just upgraded our backup system to Backup Exec10, primarily to use the ServerFree option for direct LUN-to-Autoloader data transfer in our SAN. I confirmed with our supplier beforehand that yes, apparently our Dell/EMC SAN definately does support datamover operations as discussed in the ServerFree Whitepaper.
Running the first test, the job log reports "ServerFree backup verification failed. A data mover cannot be detected in the hardware. Performing the backup from the snapped volume."
I'm going to go back to Dell and try to get some more evidence that the datamover feature definately exists, but thought I should attack this from both sides. So:
1. Assuming the datamover does exist, could anything be preventing BE from been able to communicate with it?
2. Is there anyway I can prove the datamover definately does/does not exist?
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Cheers
Ricky
