T2000 (Niagara) for storage?

Greetings,
We're working up a backup system, and from experience it looks like a well-configured V240 will be sufficient. A tape library with two fibre channel LTO3 tape drives will be involved, and said backup server will be backing up both SAN-attached (SAM-QFS) local filesystems and remote host-based filesystems via gigabit ethernet. Backup software such as Veritas Netbackup or Legato NetWorker is being discussed.
Anyway, my question regarding this scenario is: How would a similarly configured T2000 do for such an application, as compared to a V240? I expect that these enterprise backup applications are likely not highly multithreaded, but they certainly do involve running multiple processes, and often multiple copies of the same process. And the bulk of the work seems to be done by the kernel, moving bits between interfaces, basically. The Solaris-10 kernel should be pretty well multithread-aware, if one believes the advertising (:-). So, has anyone done this, and if so, how is it working out?
I have a similar question about the T2000, but in regard to replacing a 280R which acts as our SAM-QFS metadata master, SAM-FS archiver, and NFS-server (gigabit ethernet) for a couple dozen client machines. Does anyone have experience with the T2000 system in this other storage-related scenario?
Thanks and regards,
Marion

I agree with Stuart, the only T2000s in the field are at Sun or big US customers like ebay, we only got the offer on demo systems last week. The best place to go is to contact a Sun reseller, demo systems are currently available. The servers are available to order as well ( model T20-108A-08GA2C is available in Sweden ). Here's a really interesting blog from rmc, he has loads of links to T1 info, probably the best single source of info available.

  • How can I use iCloud for storage without duplication problems?

    I recently set up iCloud to use on my Mac and PC.  With the exception of a single data file that I have stored in the cloud (as a working data file) that I use both on my Mac and PC....I want to use the rest of my 20 gigs of space on iCloud for storage/backup purposes only.  However, I have very little experience with iCloud; and it doesn't seem entirely intuitive to use iCloud.
    For example, if I store all of my music and pictures on iCloud, how do I stop Itunes and iphoto from duplicating the results of each music and picture file in those programs?  I ask this question because I have seen iTunes act up way too many times (in other circumstances) when it creates duplicate music files.
    Just to be clear, I want everything to remain on my local hard drive.  I only want to use iCloud for storage/backup only.  So, again, how do I stop iTunes and iPhoto from reading music and photo files once I successfully get them on iCloud?  (I am thinking I have to hide the archived files once I get them in iCloud, but unsure about how I go about doing that).  And here's my second question.  To upload my personal music and picture files to iCloud, can I simply drag and drop them into the iCloud drive on my computer and assume they will be successfully uploaded?
    My second question seems kind of basic too.  But, once again, iCloud does not seem entirely intuitive to use for a beginner.  For example, I recently purchased some music from the Itunes store.  And while I have it downloaded on my harddrive (like I wanted it)......I don't see it on the iCloud drive (on my computer)....nor do I see it when I log into icloud.com on the web site.  Thanks for any replies.

    If you have a Mac signed into your account running iPhoto, you might want to check iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud to make sure Automatic Upload isn't checked.  If it is checked, all new photos added to iPhoto are automatically added to your photo stream.

  • Can i use the time capsule for storage or just backup?

    I asked my husband to go and buy a separate harddrive so that we could use to store all of our photos on separately as opposed to the computer (as its full and we cant download any more photos!). He came back with the Time Capsule.
    from what i can understand it can only be used for backups and not for direct stoarge - is this correct? Im hoping that i can use it for storage and somehow copy all my photos from my Mac onto the Time Capsule and then we can access them from the network which i just created with the Time Capsule
    Or do i need to buy something else?
    appreciate anyones help
    Thanks

    It is far from ideal. But it does depend on what you are doing. Are you going to store you iphoto library on the TC then it is not recommended.
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
    Read pondini for some work arounds.

    My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows.  The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable.  The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop.  Can you point me to the best way to do this?  - Thanks

    If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

  • [Athlon64] CPU cant see my other HD I want to use for storage

    Ok so I have the msi k8n-neo v with 3000+ athlon 64, Im running win xp 32, I had too much problems with win xp 64 ( wasnt running my games well ) ANYHOO... I have a 120 gig sata WD HD, now I have this other HD WD 40gig but its not SATA.  It has windows installed on it already, I just want to use it for extra space maybe a new partition for storage, and I hook it up and my CPU doesnt even see it.  Most cases I cant even boot it up. It goes to my logo screen and stays there.  IF i hit tab I can go to this other menu, but cant make any choices and it scans my hardware.  I even tried running my win XP setup disc but I think its asking for my driver boot disc.  Im just afraid to use it cause I dont want my main HD to lose any data or become corrupt where i have to re-install windows AGAIN for the 6th time in the last two months LMAO.  Anyway I THINK (prolly wrong) that I have the little slave/master doohicky in the wrong spot.  I have tried it in every single spot but I still cant get past my logo screen.  the 40 gigger is hooked up to the MOBO from one IDE cable its not a slave on that cable just one cable from the HD to the MOBO in slot two.  Slot one is occupied by my dvd rom and my cd rom.  Can anyone help me out on this one?  Im still kinda new to all this but learned a hell of a lot in the last year!!!!!!!!

    ...put the SATA drive in and start it up to make sure it's still working...if it's OK, shut it down...
    ...remove the jumper from the Western Digital 40GB drive...connect it to the far end of an IDE cable...connect the other end to your motherboard...start your machine...
    ...after Windows boots click Start > right-click My Computer > Manage > highlight Disk Management in the left pane > see if the 40GB is there > it should be > click the drive in the right pane > Action > All Tasks > Format...after Fomat you may have to go back to Action > All Tasks > Mark Partition As Active...

  • Time Machine no longer recognizes my WD portable drive for storage

    The portable drive use to work fine for storage for my time machine. Now the drive does not show in desktop when plugged in. Time machine is directing me to set up but does not recognize any device. Thank you for any help.
    J.

    Same exact thing happened to me... Time Machine ceased to recognize external drive - stopped backing up (obviously) then drive would no longer appear on desktop. After multiple reboots, plug/unplug, and cable jiggling - the drive returned to the desktop... Time Machine STILL does not see it. Using Disk Utilities to verify - hopefully repair. Many errors appearing in log! Isn't it a little odd that so many external drives of different models are all failing while using the same program... ?

I now want to do some more work on those files (which have the same file name as on the C drive). I plugged the drive into my computer and it shows in LR under folders as the F drive and the little green light is on, but LR is showing only the first 6 files and not the remaining 200 or so. How do I expand the F folder to expose all files?

  • Use of Vendor and Customer in 'Define Shipping Data for Storage Location"

    Under the stock transfer order configuration, there is a IMG step <b>"Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".</b>
    In this at storage location level, we can assign, sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location.
    The customer number is used a sold-to-party in outbound deliveries.
    <b>But I am not able to figure out what's the use of VENDOR number we are specifying in this step.</b>
    If I am assiging the VENDOR Number here to every storage location, then when I am creating cross-company code Stock transport order, which vendor code I will select the one assigned to PLANT or one Assigned to Storage location.
    <b>Also I need to know what vendor account group I will use for creating this storage location vendor.</b>  I have more than one storage locations) under one plant. Soif I used account group as "0007" plant, SAP doesn't allow me to assigne one plant code to 2 vendors and in vendor master on 'additional purchasing data' screen I am not seeing storage location field, it has only 'PLANT' field.
    <b>So I need to know-
    1. Which account group to use for creating storage location vendor
    2. What's the ultimaye use of this vendor code
    3. What vendor # I will use while creating cross-company PO (one for plant or one for storage location.</b>
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Define Shipping Data
    Here in this step you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery
    A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
    You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order
    In IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
    You can assign sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location through Plant only.Means this Vendor is created for entering in the STO .This vendor is created for the the Plant (Supplying Plant)so as u can create STO.

  • What is the best external hard drive for macbook pro I think I want firewire for storage and usb for time machine

    I have a macbk pro. I think a usb external drive would be fine for time machine but I'd like a fire wire external drive to store files.
    Any recommendations on brand? The last recommendations were dated 2006/7
    I have been waiting for a 1TB  g-drive. Apparently they are special order. I did not think I needed anything larger than 1 TB to backup the 500GB internal drive.
    I thought I'd get something bigger for storage. From what I have read I think its best not to partition the drive for backup and storage.
    Also I'd like to have a bootable copy of my internal hard drive is that possible?

    Don't know about the Best... But I have been using these without any issues...

  • Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB

    Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB conncected, both worked well before, but both now spinning, blinking, and not showing up on the screen as before,
    Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
    I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,

    yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem
    my usb devices are:  keyboard, mouse, printer, SD-USB-M3, and LaCie d2 DVDRW:
    the mouse and printed are plugged into the keyboard: i have tried to move, these around, and have even tried just the mouse, printer and SD-USB-M3, but still the same problem

    Is there a way I can create a folder for storage and put on desktop?

    What you can do is move them into a sub folder where they are all grouped into one icon. Gets them off your screen, sort of.

Maybe you are looking for
