[Networker] Followup regarding our AlphaStor problem

For those who just recently joined, we had issues adding our first
storage node (and first LTO-2 drives) to an AlphaStor config.  We were
DLT-7000 only before this.

The eventual determination (after two weeks of service calls during a
very small downtime window each day) was that, in going from
single-media to multi-media library, all the drives have to be
re-auto-configured from start in the robot wizard.

That now appears to have worked (yea!).  I'm pausing this week to work
with STK and a BladeStore, but have a question in the interim:

- Is a seperate resource queue actually needed, and if so how is it
setup?  This storage node is for a dedicated backup set (not a
dedicated storage node), so needs to be segregated out.  I know how to
do this in Networker, but not in AS.  I've read the docs, and has not
helped any; their example is confusing.  Also, though the docs specify
that two queues can be set to the same library, the GUI complains
about this.

We're using AS 3.0 SR2 and NW 7.1.2, all Solaris 8.

Intend to have followup discussions with Legato over this as well, but
would like second opinion / real AS experience to be certain.


Thanks all,
--TSK
