Celerra NS-480 back-end connectivity problems.

Good day.

I'm currently setting up a tape library to backup the data from the Celerra but I only have AUX0 ports available on each DM.

The question is, can I connect the DMs to the SPs through a FC switch?

Is this configuration supported?

Is it a must for them to be directly connected?

I'm using 2 Cisco MDS 9148 switches for redundancy purposes.

Thanks for your help.

No - the connections between DM and SP have to be direct - these are for disks only - no tapes there

For tape drives you need to use the AUX ports on the data mover - there you can connect to a FC switch
