Quantum Physics for Cyber Resiliency
In a perfect utopian world without adversaries, we wouldn't need post-quantum cryptography. But until we get there, the importance of protecting your data against current and potential future threats cannot be over-estimated. With malicious actors and nation-states attempting to harvest-now-decrypt-later, replacing asymmetric key cryptographic algorithms to post-quantum algorithms is no longer a choice.
Quantum Superloader 3 / Backup Exec 21
Does anyone have a Quantum Superloader 3 working with the Microsoft "Unknown Medium Changer" driver on Windows Server 2012 R2 with BE 21? I was able to get the loader to work acceptably (unusual problems every week or two) with an older Quantum driver, but following the recommendations in the BE21 manual/technotes, I'm not able to get it to work with the Microsoft driver. When using the Microsoft driver the loader and internal drive are detected by Backup Exec, but as separate devices and the loader does not function correctly like this (no device available, etc. when attempting to perform operations). I did some digging and it sounds like this may be due to Quantum assigning LUN 0 to the drive and LUN 1 to the loader (and I can't find any way to change that). Per the BE manual the loader should be LUN 0 and drive LUN 1... Matt
Multiple tapes being frozen, drives being down but Tape Library shows no hardware issues.
Hello, This problem seems getting serious. We have about 45 tapes in Quantum Scalar i3 with 4 drives and Netbackup 8.1 on RHEL 6.9. Once in a while, 1 or 2 of drives go down an tapes are marked frozen. I opened multiple tickets to Netbackup and Quantum, they really don't find the root cause of the problem, just recommend to upgrade firmware, unfreeze tapes, Up drives. That's all both tech supports do. Now I have nearly half of tapes got frozen and 2 drives down. Does anyone have experience on tackling down the similar issues, if then, please share your thoughts. Belows are the screenshots of Netbackup and Quantum Scalar i3 tape library.
