Brian,
It's not so much the NetApp and the Linux box that need to be compatible - the
filer will connect to the tape drive *only*, and the Linux box to the media
changer *only* - they are separate busses (of course, it's likely that the
library will have the same (HVD or LVD) interface for both the library and the
drive). Since the filer's SCSI port is fast/wide/diff HVD, then the tape drive
will need to have the same.
If you use NDMP-compliant backup software, then you can connect the media
changer as well as the tape drive directly to the NetApp filer.
Regards,
Andrew
