I currently only have a combo master/media server (TLD 0). I'm setting up two
additional media servers (for the first time), this new media server, 'bob',
will be its own robotic control host (TLD robot 1) with two of its DLT drives
directly attached to _another_ media server, 'bill' (also called TLD robot 1,
since robotic control is from bob). I've set up the robots and drives using
tpconfig on bob and bill, and added in TLD 1 into the master server with
tpconfig. I tried using the java GUI as the Media Manager admin guide directs,
but got frustrated with its slowness. My questions are these:
1) What more do I need to do on the master to recognize the drives/robotics on
bob and bill to a point I can add them in as new storage unit(s)? I noticed
that adding in bob, ie TLD(1), on the master via tpconfig added the media
server into its bp.conf, but I'm not clear about how to add bill. Do I need to
add in the drives for the media servers on the master via tpconfig? If so, how?
2) Will I actually create two storage units in this scenerio? They're both
TLD(1), but on separate media servers.
Thanks,
Ryan
