Jim,
1. Make sure that more than one tape device is available for the NDMP host 
(Celerra).
2. Make sure that the client parallelism fir the NDMP Client (the Celerra) is 
equal to the number of available drives.
3. Make sure that the "group parallelism" for the group doing the NDMP backups 
will permit multiple sessions.
4. The Celerra is probably limited to up to 4 concurrent NDMP streams.

Subject: [Networker] NDMP Multiple Savestreams

I'm going to try and describe my question as best I can - hopefully clearly
enough to elicit some advice.

On our networker server, we have licenced 3 copies of "NDMP Client
Connections" of the appropriate level for our EMC Celerra.  The EMC Celerra
currently has a single datamover connected (via two fibers) to the SAN, and
has the ability to access multiple tape drives (via DDS).

Currently we have succesfully run a single NMDP stream from that datamover
to a single tape drive.  How do I get a second datamover running to a second
tape drive.  Do I have a second copy of the client resource - each with a
unique set of "Save set" resources and put them in two different groups that
run at the same time - or is there another trick to doing this.

Thanks in advance.

Jim
