Re: SCSI "Y" cable

My response was minimalistic. Part of it was curiosity. I thought that there was a new A2 thing I had never heard about and I wanted to know what it was. The other part was steering you to be on topic (if you were in fact, off). If you can't handle someone asking about your posts, I don't know what to tell you, really. My response was hardly the flame you seem to think it was. It's nothing like the cruel, rude, destructive responses typical in many newsgroups -- it was a chide at worst. And as for an explicit redirect, that would be insulting. Surely you had posted to the SCSI groups already, so no need to tell you to go back there. 

*shaking head amazed* Are we all beating a dead horse here or what?

The only reason you post your issues here is to get some kind of
answers not SARCASM. I obviously failed to see a redirect that you
mentioned ( a redirect would be try posting your question on "X"
groups not "how is this realated to "x" group?). Its sad that a small
overlook on my part can create such a big FUSS and to make it worse
not get any help on the topic at all.

I just bought a DELL power vault 120T (dlt1 tape drive). I want to try
and hook up two MS clustered servers to this tape drive with a "Y"
SCSI cable so the data gets backed up in the event of one of the node
failing. Has anyone tried this setup before? I am using Veritas Backup
Exec (its cluster aware)> Is this doable? Thanks!


Uhm...how is this A2-related?

Curious,
Mike






It was a mistake to pick the apple2 group. However, the idea was to
get someone to answer if the "Y" cables can be used or not. You could
have easilyyy ignored it and not reply at all :-)! Thanks, I guess!
Mike just (not so subtly) redirected you, that's all. How is ignoring an off-topic post more helpful than a redirect? Short answer: it isn't.
The nice thing about posting to a newsgroup with the correct topic is that your chances of getting the _correct_ answer increase substantially. When dealing with hardware, especially, an incorrect could cause damage. Caveat emptor applies to advice, too.
