Question : Problem: Using Cisco 3560\3750 SFP port for Tape Library
I am going to be setting up a tape library. I am told with the library that I'm getting that there are two ways to set it up,
[svrs to be backed up]----->thru the lan---->[backup svr]--->SCSI--->[tape library]
or
[fiber nic]------>[fiber bridge]------>[tape library]
My question is, can I use a cisco switch (3560\3750) and plug the tape library in one of the spf ports on it?
I want to buy the switch to act as the 'fiber bridge' and since it's a gb switch and all the servers have gb nics, i just want them to have a gb connection to the tape library which itself is connected by fiber.
Also, in buying the switch, it says the SFP ports are empty, do I need to purchase a specific gbic or fiber module to plug into the spf port? And i'm assuming this module will depend what type of fiber connection is coming off the tape library, would that be correct? like SC to LC or someting another

Are you in Application Mode or Administration Mode? You may be locked into the Administration mode which will only allow one user to log on. At a command prompt, type Change User /Execute
This will switch you over to application mode.
Other thoughts... check your event log to ensure that you aren't getting errors about Terminal Services Licensing. Ensure that your TS Licensing services are running.
You may also want to Uninstall Terminal Services in Control panel, Reboot your server and then reinstall after reboot.
Hope that helps
