To setup DDS : easiest way is to recreate your jukebox and answer
yes when it ask if device is shared with different hosts. It is
faster and you cannot be wrong. Just ran inquire on each SN, and
do the matching between PHYSICAL device seen and corresponding driver
(\\.\tapex for windows, /dev/rmt/... for unix). It will be simpler 
to give right values.

If not, edit each existing devices and define an Hardware Device Id,
unique for each PHYSICAL device.

Then, create the new devices and fill SAME Hardware ID for corresponding
PHYSICAL DEV.

Sample : rd=hostA:\\tape1 -> HardwareID HWID1 
         rd=hostB:\\tape2 -> HardwareID HWID2
new    : rd=hostC:\\tape1 -> HardwareID HWID1 (DDS Share of Physical dev
1)
new    : rd=hostD:\\tape3 -> HardwareID HWID2 (DDS Share of Physical dev
2)

Edit then the jukebox. Edit Number of device (add 2 in this case)
Let number of DRIVE as it is (is the number of physical dev in library)

Edit then Device list and add as follow : take care !
from : rd=hostA:\\tape1 ( HardwareID HWID1 )
       rd=hostB:\\tape2 ( HardwareID HWID2 )

to   : rd=hostA:\\tape1 ( HardwareID HWID1 )
       rd=hostC:\\tape1 ( HardwareID HWID1 ) 
       rd=hostB:\\tape2 ( HardwareID HWID2 )
       rd=hostD:\\tape3 ( HardwareID HWID2 )

Should be ok.

Do not forget setting block size if same medium is shared accorss
Windows and 
Unix systems.

Subject: Re: [Networker] Cannot unmount tape automatically after
finishing backup

Thanks Davina and Faidherbe for your reply

The issue is : "auto unmount" worked with my old system
but with my new backup system , it doesnot work

My old backup system: networker server 7.2.1 on win2k3, tape library IBM
3582

I have just replaced them with:  tape library IBM ts3200 3573
However, i dont think that tape library is the problem.

Another question: How to configure the Dynamic Drive Sharing
environment?

I had two license Dynamic Drive Sharing on networker server for two
drives.

Is there any option for this problem else except "unmount schedule
task"??

Have a nice day
Regards
Tan
