WIndows 2008 Storage Node?

Question

I have a file server/Storage Node that is being replaced with a Windows 2008 server. Powerlink says that the x64 version of Networker 7.4 sp2 only supports Win2008 clients, not storage nodes or server. Does anybody know when support for Win2008 Storage Nodes will be out?

Well that stinks. I have a new Clariion with a Win2008 file server attached.

is it supported on 7.3.x?????

ble1 · Answer

Nope. 7.4SP2 is the only version support it and it's client only. 7.4SP3 should take it step further with support for storage node and server.

Hi, Support for Windows 2008 as a storage node will be available in 7.4.3. ACSLS support however is not scheduled for 7.4.3 at this time.HTHDebbie

I didn't have a choice. All I know is I have a Win 2008 server which will be going into production with several Terabytes of data this month. Not having it be a storage node is going to slow backups a lot.
