The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
HUGE Change to the thinking here. HUGE.
Why?
Because now you are backing up guests and that requires one of:
A) Separate I/O card for each guest. (Fiber or SAS)
B) Switching the I/O card between partitions as they are backed up.
C) Using tape drives ONLY rather than Libraries for your backups as you
can share drives through the host but not libraries.
With VIOS you could use Fiber and share a library between all
partitions. Without VIOS AND Fiber your choices are above.
But these are very small partitions so you will never outrun a SAS
connection to the VTL.

I probably should have added that we have i hosting i, no VIOS. Our host
LPAR has 18 arms, 17 active and one hot spare. Most backups run on the
guests. Two guests have eight virtual arms each and the smaller guest has
five.
