Yes, it sounds very similar to my environment. v5.1, SSO, Solaris =
master, Solaris and Win2003 media servers, fiber attached to bridges in =
an L180 w/SDLT drives. The robot and tape drives are defined to all =
media servers.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Shared Robot on every media server?
I recently took over a NetBackup 5.0 installation. The installation is =
about 4 months old, SSO, Solaris master, mixture of Solaris and Win2000 =
media servers, fibre attached LTO2 drives and robot.
=20
My observation -- the robot is defined on each of the media servers.=20
=20
What I'm looking at...
>From the jnbSA GUI, click Devices in the tree under "Media and Device =
Management".
Then click the robots tab in the lower panel of the right side.
I see an entry for each media and master server with Robot Name TLD(0), =
volume database is the master server for all entries, robotic path is =
blank except for the master server, robot control host lists the master =
server for all the media server entries.
=20
It's my first time working hands-on with an SSO setup, I might be seeing =
a by-product of the SSO setup. It just seems strange to have the robot =
defined on each media server. I'm used to an environment where a tape =
drive may be attached to server1 within a robot controlled by server2, =
and the robot is not defined on server1.
=20
Does this setup make sense to anyone, or does it seem outwardly wrong? =
The system, BTW, is working OK.
=20
Thanks,
