Connecting a PowerEdge Cluster to a Tape Library
To provide additional backup for your cluster, you can add tape backup devices
to your cluster configuration. The Dell PowerVault™ tape libraries may contain
an integrated Fibre Channel bridge or Storage Network Controller (SNC) that
connects directly to your Dell|EMC Fibre Channel switch.
Figure 2-14 shows a supported Failover Cluster configuration using
redundant Fibre Channel switches and a tape library. In this configuration,
each of the cluster nodes can access the tape library to provide backup for
your local disk resources, as well as your cluster disk resources. Using this
configuration allows you to add more servers and storage systems in the
future, if needed.
NOTE:
While tape libraries can be connected to multiple fabrics, they do not
provide path failover.
