><DIV>Jim,</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>I have an installation that is similar to
yours. That you can see the robot on every media server is a by-product of
presenting the devices over fibre channel to your media servers. The most
important thing is that the media servers have the tape drives. The robot
control host is still your master server. With using SSO you give the
opportunity to your media servers to backup directly to the tape drives over
fibre channel. I have Media Servers and SAN Media Servers that hold lot's of
data (over 1.5 TB) and you have more backup and restore performance with using
FC than your network.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Your setup seems to make sense
to me.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Best
Regards</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Martin</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>----------------------------------------------------------------------!

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.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>My observation
-- the robot is defined on each of the media servers.
</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>What I'm looking at...</DIV><DIV>From the jnbSA
GUI, click Devices in the tree under "Media and Device
Management".</DIV><DIV>Then click the robots tab in the lower panel of the
right side.</DIV><DIV>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 serv!
er, robot control host lists the master server for all the media serve
r entries.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>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.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Does this setup make sense to anyone, or
does it seem outwardly wrong? The system, BTW, is working
OK.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Thanks,</DIV><DIV> </DIV><BR><BR>Jim
