Re: [Networker] Using DDS in an ACSLS environment

Thanks Pat,
I was afraid that when the devices were created that
the drive mapping were incorrectly to the acsls device
names.  We have 6 storage nodes sharing 6 drives in
the library. Two things come to mind, one should we
use the local device name or the remote device name.
I'm assuming it would be the local device name.  And
secondly is jbconfig run on each storage node that see
the drives are just on the Networker server???

Thanks
