About backup to tape support for NetBackup appliances
NetBackup appliances support backups to tape so that you can connect one or more tape libraries to them with Fibre Channel. The appliances use a Fibre Channel host bus adapter card (FC HBA) for connection to a TLD tape storage device.
If you use a tape library as storage, create a separate zone for that traffic. The tape storage zone should include the following FC HBA ports:
A port or ports on the FC HBA card(s) of the appliance.
A port or ports on the tape library.
See the following for how tape out is supported on FC HBA cards on each appliance hardware model.
See Supported Fibre Channel port configuration for the NetBackup 5240 appliances.
See Supported Fibre Channel configurations for the NetBackup 5250 appliance.
See Supported Fibre Channel port configurations for the NetBackup 53xx appliances.
For hardware compatibility list (HCL) for tape drives and tape libraries on the appliance, check the NetBackup hardware compatibility at the following link:
