Troubleshooting failed components in the SAN

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
Various problems can occur at any location in a SAN.
For Backup Exec to work properly, a storage device has to be recognized in the following locations:
  • The bridge or router must recognize it as a SCSI device
  • The operating system must recognize it as a device
  • Backup Exec must recognize it as a supported device
In some cases, hardware issues may require you to contact your hardware vendor for technical support.
You may need to replace a component of your SAN, such as a bridge or a switch. For specific steps for replacing your equipment, refer to your hardware vendor's documentation.
