When you are running ARCserve 7.0 for NetWare in a SAN with both Fibre Channel ports
on a PowerVault 136T tape device connected to the same Fibre Channel fabric, ARCserve
might not be able to detect the tape device and generate an initialization error.
To correct the error, perform one of the following procedures:
• Connect one port in the PowerVault 136T Fibre Channel module to one Fibre
Channel fabric (recommended)
• Connect both ports in the PowerVault 136T Fibre Channel module to two Fibre
Channel fabrics
The following sections explain how to implement both solutions.
