Hello all I just want to know someone here is using Dell Power Volt 124T as tape backup. I just get it but I would like to use Linux redhat 6.3 server as OS on my backup server. Can tell me if you know any open source software I can use to drive it . Sent from IPad
Not that this is particularly network operations related, but... A quick Google search (https://www.google.com/search?q=Dell+Power+Volt+124T+red+hat+enterprise&oq=Dell+Power+Volt+124T+red+hat+enterprise&aqs=chrome..69i57.6018j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=2&es_sm=141&ie=UTF-8) yielded the User's Guide (ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/powervault-124t_User's%20Guide12_en-us.pdf) which appears to show how to use the Power Vault 124 with Red Hat Linux. Dell and IBM historically have had decent support for their products with "Enterprise" versions of Red Hat, Ubuntu, and SuSE.

Basically anything. It works as a standard SCSI tape changer device using mtx, my, and your favorite archiving software, tar, Amanda, bacula, arkeia, many others. On Thursday, March 13, 2014, Maxime Godonou Dossou <godomus27@gmail.com> wrote:
