Is it possible to mirror MSA Shelves or do you have to use SAN Mirroring?
Hi,
I have a MSA 1500 in which I have four SATA shelves, unfortunately the location that this MSA is going to find itself (at sea) does not lend itself to being backed up easily! Is there a way to mirror shelves within the MSA? or would I have to look at a full SAN mirroring solution, if I did would there be a way of fooling it into think its two MSAs?
Thanks
Michael

More to do with the cost than the libraries themselves, its a research vessel so loads of data and not much money!
Thanks for the comment!

It's better really to have a tape library since mirroring doesn't protect you from a virus writing all over both arrays. I can't see why tape libraries won't work on a ship.
