Isilon NDMP Hardware Compatibility

Supported Tape Devices
In the recommend configuration that includes a Backup Accelerator, only LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape devices are supported. Additional devices could be supported in the future. If a Backup Accelerator is not part of the configuration and instead a remote (3-way) configuration is being used, then the question of tape library and device support is deferred to the backup application.

Supported Tape Libraries

Tape Library support is deferred to the backup application when a physical tape library is connected to a Backup Accelerator, since the backup application communicates either directly to the tape library or via SCSI pass-through. When a Backup Accelerator is not part of the configuration, support is also deferred to the backup application since the backup software in this configuration is solely responsible for communicating with the tape library.

Supported Virtual Tape Libraries

Virtual Tape Library (VTL) support is deferred to the backup vendor in configurations that do not include a Backup Accelerator. In configurations that do include a Backup Accelerator, FalconStor VTLs are officially supported using LTO-3 or LTO-4 tape devices. While other VTLs may work, they are not officially supported by Isilon. Note: FalconStor VTLs must include a fibre channel switch in their configuration. Point to point (or direct) topology is not supported because of a known issue.
