Re: [Veritas-bu] Max # of Drives on a Master Server?

In my environment the master server does all the vaulting. Which means I need access to all robots/drives in my environment. Every Media server is just a SAN Media server and also a production server. I am nervous about what might happen with IO on the SAN Media servers, if I allow them to vault their own tapes.

I dont know for sure for the limitation,
but if your master server said so, why dont you share the rest of the drive to the media server?

All,

Quick question. I currently have an environment of 1 Master at 5.1MP6, and 26 SAN Media Servers. All Solaris

I have 1 Physical L700 with 11 drives, that is SSO to all 27 servers.
I also have a EMC CDL720 that is a VTL for me to configure as needed. Well, I was in the process today of configure 10 more robots on the CDL and 20 drives per robot.

Well, in the process of configuring the 10 robots (200 drives) to the master server, NetBackup told me I could not configure more than 128 drives on a master server?!?!?

Does anybody know about this limitation? If so, any way around it?
