There is some mileage in doing this since it keeps the rdevmi processes for the 
shared drives off your application servers and on your NetBackup infrastructure 
servers.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Scan_Ability and SAN Media Servers



Greetings, 

Does anyone know if there is any mileage in lowering the scan_ability setting 
for SAN Media Servers? 

We have the usual environment of several dedicated Media Servers and some SAN 
Media Servers. My thinking is that by making the SAN M/Ss lower priority it 
would encourage the dedicated M/Ss to be the scan hosts for our drives. As 
these SAN M/Ss are used for other stuff (users dataservers, mail servers, etc) 
surely this could lessen the load on the SAN M/Ss and my Master? 

W2K environment running 4.5 FP6. 


Regards,
David Attreed.
