PowerScale clusters or an
PowerScale cluster and a third-party NAS system can be configured to share a single tape drive, which helps to maximize the use of the tape infrastructure in your data center.
In your data management application (DMA), you must configure NDMP to control the tape drive and ensure that it is shared properly.
NOTE: Library Media Changers cannot be shared unless the library is partitioned.
The following configurations are supported.
Supported DMAs
Tested configurations
NetWorker 8.0 and later
Symantec NetBackup 7.5 and later
Isilon Backup Accelerator node or Fibre Attached Storage node with a second Backup Accelerator node or Fibre Attached Storage node.
Isilon Backup Accelerator node or Fibre Attached Storage node with a NetApp storage system
NetWorker refers to the tape drive sharing capability as DDS (dynamic drive sharing). Symantec NetBackup uses the term SSO (shared storage option). Consult your DMA vendor documentation for configuration instructions.
