Hi,
This is my first post on DP community. i need some advise to setup my new environment.
my env.
2 physical servers [RHEL 6.8]
MSL TAPE 6480
VTL Storeonce
i am advised to setup active and passive DP cell manager and tape , VTL would present to the same physical servers but i am wondering if it could give high availablity if active cell manager is offline due to any hardware failure and how i will switch over to passive node and set the devices path?
in current scnerio , i have only 2 ports on each physical server [total 4 ports] and i am not sure if it is good practice to mix 3par SAN disk [OS/application], TAPE, VTL together on same ports unless i would have 2 additional ports for VTL and tape.
can anyone suggest any other scenerio which would make more sense ?
many thanks,
DP
