UCS Blades supported TapeLibrary

[gpare91169]

Hi, I'm currently building a new architecture and try to minimize the number of server.

I have 1 Chassis 5108, 2 FI 6248, 2 Nexus 5548UP and 4 blades B200-M3

I have a question ?!?

I need to find with Tape Library could be connect to the Nexus 5548UP in FiberChannel to be use by the B200 BackupExec 2012 server has a Backup device.

Thank You

Guillaume

Yes, but this is HCL for BackupExec, my TapeLibrary is listed, but if you look in

Cisco Data Center Interoperability Support Matrix

Look under Nexus 5000 there are no Tape Library listed ??

All Tape Librairy are listed under MDS and Nexus 7000, so does this mean the are no compatible Tape Library with the Nexus 5000 series ?

Thank you

Guillaume

Thank you Pieteryts,

The first link look like me, but for my self I have a dedicated B200 running Windows 2008 R2 with BackupExec 2012.

Does this will work and be supported by CIsco as a good configuration ?

Thank You
