February 3, 2003 EMC CLARiiON Open Systems Configuration Guide SAN and LAN with Dedicated Tape Drives A dedicated tape drive is a drive within a library that is statically and permanently associated with one backup client. In a SAN and LAN topology, the backup server is connected through the SAN to an EMC CLARiiON storage systems. In this configuration, SAN client backup data flows from the EMC CLARiiON storage systems through the SAN into the clients, and then back out through the SAN, through a Fibre-Channel-to-SCSI bridge, and out to the tape library. Backup data owned by the backup server flows from the EMC CLARiiON storage system through the SAN into the Backup Server, and then back out through the SAN, through a Fibre-Channel-to-SCSI bridge, and out to the tape library. LAN client backup data flows from the EMC CLARiiON storage systems into the client servers, across the LAN to the Backup Server, out through the SAN, through a Fibre-Channel-to-SCSI Bridge, and out to the tape library.

SAN and LAN with Dedicated Tape Drives
A dedicated tape drive is a drive within a library that is statically and permanently associated with one backup client.
In a SAN and LAN topology, the backup server is connected through the SAN to an EMC CLARiiON storage systems.
In this configuration, SAN client backup data flows from the EMC CLARiiON storage systems through the SAN into
the clients, and then back out through the SAN, through a Fibre-Channel-to-SCSI bridge, and out to the tape library.
Backup data owned by the backup server flows from the EMC CLARiiON storage system through the SAN into the
Backup Server, and then back out through the SAN, through a Fibre-Channel-to-SCSI bridge, and out to the tape
library. LAN client backup data flows from the EMC CLARiiON storage systems into the client servers, across the LAN
to the Backup Server, out through the SAN, through a Fibre-Channel-to-SCSI Bridge, and out to the tape library. For
this topology, additional requirements are found in the associated table in the CLARiiON Backup Solutions section of
the
EMC Support Matrix
