Previously I have worked in an NBU environment predominantly using RHEL3
Linux and found it to be hassle free, this was using 5.1 through to 6.0
MP2, Additionally the same environment was using disk staging with a few
1TB disks, again no hassle, few issues with bpduplicate on 5.1 MP3 , but
this was across Linux and HP-UX , a new bpduplicate binary sorted this
out along with a MP4 , which enables a few more features regarding disk
staging.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Are Linux media servers OK to use?
Hi all,
We are looking at connecting up several Linux media servers running
either
RHEL3 or RHEL4, and wanting to know what people think of them. The
hardware will probably be IBM Intel servers. Our environment is NBU 6.0
with STK PowderHorn and SL8500 tape libraries, with 9940 and T10000 tape
drives.
Has anyone go any/many of these in their environments, and if so, what
do you think of them. Is throughput good? Do they have many issues?
We will be connecting a few TB of disk to them to use as a disk staging
pool, and then off-loading the data onto tape (DSSU).
Thanks in advance.
