Hi all,
I have the same question. There's a statement in NB Release Notes about multiple paths to drive:
"Multi-path Tape Device Support
1. Multiple device control paths can be discovered, automatically configured, and
manually configured for tape drives. This applies to direct SCSI-control or
NDMP-controlled drives. Discovered drive paths are enabled by default. They can be
disabled or configured up/down by an administrator or operator. Previous to
NetBackup 6.0, only one path to a tape drive was available per host, and the available
drive states were limited to UP or DOWN."
But there is nothing else about it in the Symantec docs. So there is some uncertainty...
Does anybody have real experience with connecting T10000 (maybe another drive with two FC ports) to the Netbackup media server via two paths?
