[Veritas-bu] SSO and NDMP Jobs

[Clooney, David]

Quite right

Any media server/filer that wants to utilise drives needs to have FC visibility of them.

We use this quite a bit i.e. the same drives zoned into media servers and filers, then utilise SSO.

SSO doesn't do anything about connectivity, just usage.

So you need to hook them up to get the media server to "see" the
drives.  How are they connected.  Are you using a switch?  If so, zoning
them to the right place should be pretty easy.

Once the drive is seen by both the media server and the NDMP host, SSO
will allow it to be used by either one when necessary.
