Linux machine mounted to JBOD,can it be used for AFTD device

1. It does not matter what type of hardware you use - NW just needs a directory to point at

2. Sure you can stage from any to any media (even within the same pool, if necessary).

Install networker storage node software on the Linux machine then go through the process of adding a new device in the networker console. You will just need to put in the directory with creds to connect.

Thank you.

One more query does that JBOD/SAN disk/NAS disk need to be connected  directly to data domain.

Basically how the data  will flow:

(JBOD)disk storage -->Storage node --> data domain

or

NAS storage---> data domain

Hi

The date will flow as per the first option (you do NOT need to connect the JBOD with the Data Domain)

(JBOD)disk storage -->Storage node --> data domain

Storage Node will control the full process (read from JBOD and write to Data Domain) based on staging policy you define in networker.

I wonder how you can 'connect' the JBOD to a Data Domain but in this case it would not help as the JBOD does not 'speak' DD code - that' why you must use a Storage Node in between as 'translator'.
