Judy,
Thank you for your reply.
I am confused. The doc I referenced does not appear to contain
anything that states “Solaris only”?
Can you please provide a link, document#, or Etrack# for the
other doc you referenced?
Thanks,
Kent

The bottom of the doc says for
Solaris only.
There is another doc that says on
windows servers if you try to do two encrypted restores at the same time they
will fail.. work around is to only do one restore at a time.

Kent,
I am planning for KMS now in my SSO environment. I am very
interested in anything that your find out on this. Does this issue occur
in all KMS + SSO installations?
Thanks

Greetings,
We are
running NBU 6.5.3.1 with a Quantum (ADIC) i2000 Scalar library. We currently
have a bunch of LTO2 drives, but want to switch to LTO4 and get rid of our
inline encryption appliances. We know about QEKM and QSKM, but are trying to go
with a more vendor neutral solution. Also, an i500 or another i2000 library
just to enable a built in feature of LTO4 is going to be a tuff sell to the
bean counters. L
In doing
my research, I discovered that there is an issue with status 83 errors if you
try to use KSM in an SSO environment. There are scant few technotes, etc.., but
once you get deeper into the support matrix, people seem to know about it.
Etrack
#1765730 (Document ID #329579) indicates that it will be fixed in 6.5.6, which
has not been posted for download yet.
I can
find no indication that NBU 7.x has this problem, or that it has been fixed.
Having lived through all of the major upgrades, I know that support will be
focused on 7.x problems before 6.x problems see daylight. At least that’s the
way it was from 3 to 4, 4 to 5, and 5 to 6.
Has
anyone received an engineering binary to address this, or were you able to
wrangle more info out of Symnatec? Are you successfully running KSM right now
in an SSO environment? I’d love to hear of any and all experiences, both
negative (and hopefully) positive.
P.S. –
Yes, we’ve tested software based encryption; and the overhead was so great in
our environment (plus the hit we took on compression) that it just isn’t
feasible.
Thanks,
Kent
