VSAN BACKUP

[Paulo Mauricio Silva]

We have 2 MDS (9513 and 9506). Servers and Storage have redundancy of paths, but our robot (10 Drivers) of backup just in MDS 9513, I created 2 VSANs (Host and Backup) then midia servers (NetBackup) have 1 HBA configured in VSAN 20 (To see storage area) and other HBA in VSAN 30 (To see robot's drivers), all backup's solution are connected in MDS9513.

I would like to know, if is the best way to configure backup's solution. I was thinking in move 5 robot's drivers to MDS9506 and install 3rd HBA in my midia servers and I will connect in MDS 9506.

Thks for opinions and/or suggestions.

not a bad idea, you are adding redundancy and increasing performance.   As long as you keep tape traffic on dedicated VSAN and using dedicated HBAs for tape connectivity ..can't get better than that.
