David,
Let me add my thanks for your posts (not that I understand everything in them). I have various investments in the DD vendors right now, and would like to understand better something you say at the end of your post. Given my investments, and the fact that at one time I managed a small MicroVax network, I suppose I should know this, but I don't. You said, <<On the back-end, however, FC is not only unnecessary, but it is undesired. An intelligent disk subsystem with a FC host interface, and disks that are either UltraSCSI or SSA is what you want.>> It isn't clear to me what you mean here by "the back-end", and which disks are you now talking about? Don't these disks also have to be FC compatible in some way, to be part of this network? My ignorance is such that I am not even sure what questions to ask here, perhaps more will occur when I see the answer to this one.
Also, are your comments about LGTO (made in a later post) applicable to Veritas as well (yes, I own some SEG)?
Thanks again,
Sam |
