Create a Storage Group for that site's robot and drives and make sure
you point all that site's backups to that storage group so you don't run
backups across the wan.  Similarly you want to make sure your local
policies don't use "Any" or they might write out there!  Also, you don't
need another scratch pool, your media out there will go into the same
scratch pool just show a different robot #2 etc.  If you want a
completely different scratch pool etc than you have to make that server
a Master, and manage that Netbackup Domain separately.  I don't do this
exactly, but I do manage different robots on different servers, and as
far as volume pools go you just use the ones you already have.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] New Media Server

 We have installed a new media server with a two drive robot at a remote
site to replace two stand alone drives and the old media server.

We want to setup 4 volume pools including a  scratch pool at the remote
site.
It appears that these pools must be defined at the new media server as I
have not been able to create another scratch pool in our existing
master/media.

Current version is 5.1 mp4
The master/media is solaris
The new media server is solaris
The remote site has window clients.

I'm wondering what else to look for when creating this new setup.
