558.0. "HP Jukebox support??" by CHEFS::ZELEZINSKIJ () Tue Apr 08 1997 03:48

    I have a customer who would like to connect an existing HP 120T Jukebox to
    an Alpha and use the NSR HSM product recently annouced in Ver 4.2C.
    
    I have checked the SPD (50.98) and the nearest info on support for HP
    is the 60/100. Is this a family of products that includes the 120T or
    are they completely different ??
    
    Any help appreciated

	If the HP120T is not in the SPD it is not supported.  It may
	work but we have not tested with it.
558.2SCSI CAM vs OSMS ??CHEFS::ZELEZINSKIJWed Apr 09 1997 07:548
    Just as I thought and expected but it's worth the question !!
    
    On another related topic regarding using CD Jukebox's with NSR/HSM the
    SPD states the use of the SCSI CAM s/w to "support the media handling of
    optical devices", does this negate the uses of the OSMS product or is
    this also required ??

	Not only is OSMS not required, but the two do not get along very
	well.  OSMS uses a modified version of CLC that is not
	compatable with the newer versions used by NetWorker.  We
	hope a future release of OSMS will fix this.  Even if they
	could be on the same system they can not share a jukebox.

	OSMS is used to make a jukebox full of platters look like	
	a lot of disks.  NetWorker uses the same type of device as
	a place to store backups, archives, and HSM migrations.
