- paths are defined on the library manager for both the manager (as usual) and the client - Occam's razor applies - imagine a library manager managing 80+ drives for 10+ other servers, and all data moving via this one LM, not a scalable solution - HBA's with default firmware can only act as initiators, not as targets - thus, the library manager can't receive any data from the other servers > With many thanks, > Keith Arbogast -- Met vriendelijke groeten/Kind Regards, Remco Post r.p...@plcs.nl +31 6 248 21 622
