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
