Note 1 - When multiple concurrent serverless (xcopy) backup jobs are submitted, only one job is running at
a time. The rest of the backup jobs are queued and completed successfully one by one.
Note 2 - NetApp (Ontap 6.4R1 and 6.4.1) recognizes only one Fibre port on the FC470. Devices on the other
Fiber port will not be recognized. All devices must be mapped to one port. IBM LTO Gen 2 tape drives are
not supported at this time.
Note 3 - A tape device configuration file (patch) needs to be added under /etc/tape_config folder on
NetApp Ontap to support HP LTO Gen 2 drives. For detailed information, go to http://www.netapp.com/
solutions/data_protection_devices.html. IBM LTO Gen 2 tape drives are not supported at this time.
Note 4 - If Xcopy is running on BrightStor, from the FC470 web browser, under System Menu and Active
Fabric page, the Unit Attention Override Mode must be enabled.
