since they're using different Volume Pools, they won't MPX with each other
(that is, jobs from Windows and jobs from Unix)
you mentioned you're using muliple data streams and didn't mention how
many clients are in each Policy. how many Windows jobs are running when
the Unix jobs start and are the Windows jobs using both tape drives or
does a drive show up in Device Monitor or Activity Monitor as being idle?
what's your reasoning for splitting these volumes by OS?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Data Center 4.5 How to use more
than one drive
Hi all,
I have been put in charge of a Netbackup Domain. Since all my experience
is
with Omniback, needless to say I am in need of some info. I have read the
admin guides, etc, but can't seem to solve this problem:
I have configure the robot and the two drives on the library, I have
created a
storage unit for this library, set the Multiplex Per drive to 4 and have
set
the max concurrent drives used for backup to 2. I have created three
volume
pools one for the Windows backups and one for the Unix backups and of
course a
scratch pool. I have added 14 tapes to the library, and have done the
robtest
etc, and also made sure that the tapes show up in the scratch volume pool.
I have the Windows policy set to start at 9pm and the Unix policy to start
at
10pm. The Windows policy takes 2 hours to complete it is still active
when
the Unix one kicks off. However, why won't the Unix policy use the other
drive? I look at the Activity monitor and can see that the Windows backup
job
is writing to the tape, but the Unix job is queued until the Windows
backup is
complete.
I have the max multiplex set to 4 on both policies and both have multiple
data
streams enabled, both point to the same STU and their respective volume
pool.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Do you have to create an (2)
STUs?
Even though I am only using a single library?
This is driving me crazy, I've done everything I could.
Thanks for your help.
-Adam
