Hello,

This is something I will be configuring ... Soon ...

Small changes to the environment at the moment, just upgraded and got an
un-expected DSU issue to clean first.

Adam.

What's wrong with creating an additional storage unit?

I am scheduled to upgrade from 5.1 to 6.5 and would be very interested
in the answer to this question.  I checked the documentation and in the
Veritas NetBackup 6.5 Admin Guide for UNIX and Linux Vol 1 had the
answer... I think

On page 250:  It says that the final destination storage unit will
control the "maximum concurrent write drives".  That explanation was on
page 231.

This is not good!  I do not want to have to create a new storage unit to
control the # of drives that the copy from disk to tape will use.

Has anybody found out anything more on this issue?

Kevin

Good evening,

I have another NBU 6.5 Question,

I have just completed my 5.1 to 6.5 upgrade, no real drama's with the
upgrade.

I am monitoring the progress of the scheduled backups to see how much
carnage there is.

My disk staging units are using all of the available tape drives,
previously in NBU 5.1 I was able to limit this using the
MAX_STAGING_JOBS touchfile.

Is there some way to limit the number of jobs for de-staging disk
backups in 6.5 ?

Thanks,

Back to monitoring logs...
