Re: [Networker] DDS issue?

I am not exactly sure what algorithms are in play during the scenario you
describe, but I have seen the same thing here.  It definitely seems to be
impacted by the various parallelism and target session thresholds.

Subject: [Networker] DDS issue?

Hi,



We have a tape library with 8 physical tape drives.  Five of these
drives are shared by the NW server (NW v7.1, Solaris) and one NW storage
node (NW v6.1.3, Win2K).  The remaining 3 drives are dedicated to the NW
server.



When backups are running on all 8 drives, in the pending section of the
nwadmin GUI, there are still requests for up to 5 more tapes.  The tapes
that Networker is requesting are in the same pools that the ones being
written to are in, so it's not Networker needing media from
more/different pools.  It looks like Networker believes that there are
13 physical devices instead of just 8.



Has anyone ever seen this before?  Is this what I should be seeing when
I use DDS?



Thanks.

Teresa
