Yes, it's enterprise -- a pair of HP EVA arrays. We're talking to them via 4Gb fibre-channel. Single-initiator zones. There's a combination of RAID levels going on on the arrays but it all used to perform so *well*. The connection goes like this EVA --> (4Gb FC) --> Windows Backup

Hello LOPSA I very rarely push a request for assistance out to a list like this, generally subscribing to the self-help model of reading and testing, but I'm at my wit's end. I have four fibre-channel switches arranged in two separate fabrics. All four are HP Storageworks 8/20q (AQ233A) which ar
