Hi,

 

Anyone please guide me and If you have any configure information, please share with me.
 
I have one query, in this SAN configuration, drives need to configure directly with SAN media server with SAN media server license, with SSO and tape drive library license,
 
for SAN client, we need SAN client license, my question is, we need to zone and configure tape drives on each SAN client or only on SAN media server ?
 
SAN media server is windows, so we need to zoning drives with SAN media server ?

what are the basic requirement configuration to do for SAN media and Client configuration.
 
Please guide me on this query and also share configure documents.

A1: Yes, you can. Configure both SAN and LAN clients as usual to use STU created on Library connected to the media-servver. Clients who configured as a FT-clients will just use another transport. SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide is pretty enough.

A2: You need to create zone included "clients+ Media server's HBA port in target mode". That's all.
