Dear All,
     I am running bacula 5.0.3 on Solaris 10 x86. I have a Dell TL2000
24-slots Autoloader Library with 2 HH LTO5 Drives. The changer works
and the device will load tapes and write backups. However, I'm kind of
in the dark as to how to get it to use the 2nd drive. The
documentation is real "thin" in this regard. I've setup the "Drive
Index" parameter and listed both devices in the Autochanger config. I
was reading about a "PreferMountedVolumes" but that doesn't seem to be
the solution to my issue. I'd like to know if

Job A in Pool A writing to Tape 0 can run at that same time as Job B
in Pool B writing on Tape 1

How to make Bacula use both Drives? I purchased the unit because
Bacula docs says it can use multi-drive autochangers. I also purchased
it because a single-tape drive just isn't enough to capture everything
daily to tape.

Thanks for the help,
Shon
