Hi folks,

lately I experienced a few difficulties with data domain boost devices, more 
precisely with the max. and target session configuration.

I configured two two boost devices for each storage node with a max. session of 
1 and a target session of 12.

I see networker bring up warning and information messages that he is waiting 
for writable volumes on pool "xyz" on storage node "xyz".

The thing is, that only one networker group is running which is allocating 
three save streams (two on the first and one on the second boost devices). So I 
figur that there are 19 sessions available. But no other networker group can do 
it's backup until the first group has finished.

I tried to switch the configuration 12/12 and then the warning and information 
messages disappeared. But I hab no real device load-balacing. Networker 
allocated 12 sessions on the first boost device before backing up on the second 
one.

Has anyone experienced comparable issues?
