EMC Data Domain and Informix ~ Answered: amber (solid confidence) — Jonathan Smaby confirmed he successfully uses onbar with an EMC Data Domain target via Networker as the storage manager, directly contradicting EMC's claim that onbar can't be used; never explicitly confirmed by Mark.

Advisory only.

Is anyone using EMC/DD as the storage manager with onbar and IDS? We're getting "interesting" feedback from EMC on it's usage and essentially they are saying "onbar can't be used." Find that just a bit hard to believe. Any feedback greatly appreciated! Thanks - Mark Scranton mark@markscranton.com

Mark, Good morning. I use Informix IDS 12.10.FC5W with EMC Networker 8.3.2 with a EMC Data-Domain DD670. I use onbar to backup to the Data Domain via Networker. The Data-Domain itself isn't a storage-manager, I use Networker as the storage-manage and the Data-Domain as the storage target. If you would like more information, you're welcome to reach out to me offline. I hope this is helpful.
