Hi

I seem to be having a problem with placing a bunch of media servers in one 
policy when each of them have to back up to their own storage device.  I'm 
trying to figure out why NBU is not grabbing the proper storage device. I have 
4 Solaris servers - two are media (SSO) and two other are clients being backed 
up to the master/media.  The problem is that when you specify all of these 
servers in one policy, you can only configure one storage unit, instead of one 
for each of them.  I've been told to uncheck "On Demand Only" in the storage 
unit properties of the associated media servers that are SSO enabled and chose 
"Any Available" in the policy.  However, this is not working.  What's happening 
is NBU is just grabbing the first storage unit and not switching to the next 
one for the following media server.  I've been told to place 
"MUST_USE_LOCAL_DRIVE" in the bp.conf, which will tell the media server to only 
backup to it's local drive, but this is also not working.  Veritas suppor!
t engineers are also scratching their heads as to why.

Unfortunately, I'm forced to keep these 4 servers in one job with the setting 
of "Limit Jobs per policy" to "1" since I need all 4 servers to backup to one 
tape only.  I've tried stretching their windows by placing them one after the 
other in their own policies, but sometimes one job can take longer than 
expected and the rest fail due to it falling out of it's available window.  I'd 
be willing to put them back into their own policies so they can backup to their 
own storage devices, if someone has another idea on how I can guarantee all 4 
servers can back up to that one tape. (BTW the tape does have enough space to 
hold all of the 4 server's data).  

Thanks in advance,
Gary
