This is where dedupe is supposed to really help. Uncompressable data (videos, isos, etc) that have very little difference between them. This will get you considerably more space savings in this scenario over compression.

I'll double check the timezones, but I'm pretty sure that's good. I've also tried 3 different 'admin' level accounts, no love. I can join Linux machines to the domain, just not Solaris thus far.
-
Ok, I've got it patched but I'm having the same problems.
-
I dropped LMCL to 2. According to the system I am up to date.(I think?) Can you even patch a simulator?
-
Hey guys, I'm trying to run the simulator in VirtualBox. I've got the network up and I'm trying to set up Active Directory. When I enter my domain and admin credentials it tells me: "The attempt to join the Active Directory domain failed either because the clocks of the appliance and the domain controller are skewed or the administrative user does not have the appropriate permissions to create a computer account in Active Directory." The time is within seconds of the DC (they both sync off ntp.gov) and the admin permissions I'm using work on everything else I've ever used to join to the domain (including a linux based NAS). Any suggestions?

What does the OS run off on the 7110? Flash? A disk in the array? The specs show 14x146 or 14x300, but there's 16 drive bays. I guess two of those are for the mirrored OS?
-
It also provides some other network shares I forgot to mention, but it's still of no consequence I don't think. Now to find a reputable reseller

Well my OP doesn't even put tape in the equation, it wasn't until someone brought up some stuff I hadn't considered. So, I do not rightfully know.

CIFS shares are just word/excel. My SBS 2008 VM does Exchange (for those same 30 users) and currently has my CIFS shares on it. It also does Sharepoint and WSUS. The second VM is Server 2008 with our SQL Business database on it. This is the VM I probably care more about, and the only role this VM has is to serve up our data.

What happens under high IO? We're a small shop (30 employees). I doubt we'd tax the thing that hard. Thanks for your lightning fast help.

Alright cool. So, what I'm trying to do (above) should be reasonably feasible? Am I checking for NDMP compatibility with the backup software or the superloader itself? I think Quantum uses Backup Exec Quickstart?
-
Right now it's just 1 VM server (2 guests inside it). How is NFS faster than iSCSI? Is that something unique to the 7xxx series from Sun? I'll check on NDMP capabilities on the Quantum Superloaders.

I apologize for being late to the game here. I'm interested in a 7110 for our company SAN. I'd like to use it for iSCSI storage for my VMWare VM's as well as CIFS shares. To top it off, I'd like to be able to back up the whole SAN to something like a Quantum Superloader (Something like D2D2T). Is this possible with the 7110? What other additional hardware considerations would I need to visit? We have about 1TB of data right now, so I'd like room to grow. I'd imagine we have a backup window of something like 8-9 hours to run the tape and with the "small" amount of data we are storing now I can get that done in that window, right? If I wanted to back up the SAN to tape, would I need an external SAS/SCSI card for the 7110 to hook it to the SuperLoader?
-
Yeah that's part of the problem, since my servers are virtualized even if I put in a SAS/SCSI controller none of the guests would have direct access to and ESXi 4 doesn't allow for services to be installed. Our backups wouldn't take more than a night (I don't imagine).. so I don't have a problem backing up directly off the SAN if possible.
-
Ok, hrm that puts a twist on things. If I wanted to do D2D2T and had a superloader 3... I can't just go Server -> SAN (there's my D2D) -> Tape? I guess if the SAN had an os that supported the tape agent and the SAS/SCSI protocol I could.. otherwise I need an intermediate server for this configuration?
