I am looking for recommendations are configuring storage units. Right now
the setup is:

Master server is directly fiber attached to the library as the robotic
control, and directly fiber attached to 2 drives in the library. Media
server is directly fiber attached to the other 2 drives in the library. My
storage units are one for the master with two drives in it and one for the
media with the other two drives. All of my policies are defined for their
storage units as Any Available. I am looking to improve the performance of
my backups, I have 250 clients, with some SQL, Oracle, and NDMP agents
sprinkled in.

Should I break these up in to individual storage units for each drive and
then recombine them into storage groups of one 4 unit group, two 2 unit
groups, and four 1 unit groups. Then assign the groups directly to the
policies? Does that gain me anything?

If I want to begin using disk staging do I need to change all of the
policies from any available to either the disk storage unit or a tape unit?
