connecting cx4-120 to powervault?
I have a dell/emc cx4-120 and now i need to backup data from cx4-120 to Powervault TL4000,TL2000 or ML6010.
I have not yet any of these PowerVaults cause i don't know if it's possible to connect cx4-120 to these tape drives and backup data.
So i need help before buying one of these powervaults...
Than you, Valon.

EMC Clarrion arrays (like the CX4-series) don't support directly backing up from the array to tape.
So you'll need to have the backup server be able to connect to the tape library, and then use snapshots on the array, backup agents, VCB (if your production servers are VMware ESX/ESXi), or some other way for the backup server to be able to access the data on the LUNs without direct access to the production LUNs.
