Storage units cannot span media servers but storage unit groups can.
 
I guess, you could do it with careful scheduling, backups running during the
evening go to a specific storage unit.  Backups scheduled for early morning
go to a storage unit group that contains both storage units.  Actually, I'd
build two, since stu-groups have a sense of priority.  Build one group with
stu1 as priority & a second group with stu2 on top.  Each would roll to the
other storage unit if the first was busy or unavailable. 
 
I guess you could also programatically alter a storage unit group by adding
& removing storage units from it via cron.  This would be complicated &
perhaps wouldn't result in what you wanted anyway.  Images started but not
running wouldn't be affected by the change.  Only jobs scheduled after the
change would work correctly.
 
I'd do it with timing & storage unit groups.

Hi Netbackup smarties.....  

Netbackup 5.1 MP 3 SSO, ACSLS on Solaris 9. 

I have a total of 5 9840C tape drives.  3 dedicated to a master, 2 dedicated
to a media 

I want to share my 2 drives for a subset of hours during my complete backup
window.  IE 3 drives from 6 - 7 PM, 3 drives from 7 PM - 12 AM, and 5 again
from 12 AM - 6:00 AM.  Can this be done?  How?  Storage Groups?  

Thanks for your help!!
