Figure 49 Sharing a SCSI library (robotics attached to an NDMP Server)
Figure 49 on page 169 shows a SCSI library, with its robotics attached to an NDMP Server and configured on the Data Protector client system with either the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent installed. The SCSI robotic control protocol is used by the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent on the client. The NDMP Server with the attached robotics can also have one or more drives attached.
IMPORTANT:
If the NDMP Server with the attached robotics also have an NDMP dedicated drive attached, the Data Protector client system on which the robotics and the NDMP dedicated drive are configured, can only have the NDMP Media Agent installed, since the NDMP drive control protocol is used for the NDMP dedicated drive.
The NDMP dedicated drive in the library is configured on the Data Protector client system with the NDMP Media Agent installed. The NDMP drive control protocol is used by the NDMP Media Agent on the client.
Another drive in the library is configured on and attached to the Data Protector client system with either the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent installed. The SCSI drive control protocol is used by the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent on the client.
