Just in case you don’t already do it, back-up your C:\Program Files\Veritas\Netbackup\bin directory before you apply MP4. Unlike previous Maintenance Packs – this one will clobber any custom scripting you have done. Not nice.

SANCopy actually works!
So it took me about 4 hours to actually get the set-up right. I’ve never done a SANCopy implementation myself, because I was never on the Clariion side of things. I feel like the Clariion is to the Symmetrix what the Chevy Vega was to the Camaro. (Yes it has wheels and an engine, but …

Quantum Rave
Well, I finally have something NICE to say about someone. I approached the Quantum Corp. buyout of ADIC with a little trepidation. Our main library at work is an ADIC Scalar i500 with four FC attached LTO-3 drives and 36 tape slots, that’s about to be expanded to 6 drives and 96 slots. Our small …

Microsoft Bribing Bloggers?
I had posted a few nice words about Vista, but I deleted them when I found out that Microsoft has been bribing Bloggers with Brand new $2,300 Acer Ferrari laptops. Where’s mine?

Cisco dial-home follow-up!
Cisco has released version 3.0(2) of their firmware, and with this, comes, finally, an EMAIL-HOME feature for the switch. It’s not perfect (because unlike the dial-home on the Symm, this is dependent on an external server or two, and doesn’t work if the network connection is down. The long and the short of it is …

EMC and Cisco are some kind of partners.
Ok, there is something I hate about Cisco- and it’s not really about Cisco, it’s about EMC’s complete failure to completely support their MDS series of switches. First – When you buy an MDS 9xxx switch from Cisco, it comes with the ability to dial into Cisco when there is a problem, much like EMC …

Enterprise Vault for Exchange
The boys over at Symantec (www.symantec.com) just came by last week and gave us an interesting presentation on Enterprise Vault. (Not to be confused with the Vault extension for NetBackup, which is a different beast) The short answer is this. EV is an application that dives into your exchange environment and strips out any email/attachments …

It’s Alive!
Well, after two days of serious work getting the cabling and power ready, EMC came out and spun up the Symm today. Hot damn! Finally some real storage and I can start planning the migration off the stupid Clariion. 😉 One down-side though, the Multiprotocol cards they shipped were the wrong type, since we have …
