Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone using media sharing in 6.5?

I got a response from my Symantec rep,
and here's what he said:
"It
was just a warning. If you are using ACSLS access control, you need to
make sure that all the NBU media servers in the NBU media share group have
the same ACSLS access permissions on the media in the ACSLS database. Kind
of obvious, but it’s actually been a minor issue in regular NBU running
without media sharing."
If it's this simple, why couldn't that
have been put in to the manual? Anyway, I'll be implementing this feature
in the next week or so and will report back on how it goes.

I could see some problems if your
ACSLS setup has watch_vols going (all tapes are not visible to all servers
automatically). Enabling Media Sharing across all media servers could then
open the door to NetBackup requesting a tape mount on a server that can't
actually see that tape maybe.
Not something I've seen, just
a possibility.

I was just looking over this last night, and was surprised it's not on
by default....
I also ran across a statement in the guide that said you should use caution
with ACS libraries, but I could not tell why you needed to be cautious.
Anyone have an idea?

| [Veritas-bu] Anyone using media sharing
in 6.5? |
|
I'm finding that I'm vaulting quite a few partially used tapes, because
each tape can only be written by the server that owns it, and I have 7
media servers. The new media sharing option in 6.5 looks like it
would
help to optimize the tape usage, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried
this out yet? I checked the knowledge base and there are several
bugs
related to media sharing that are fixed in 6.5.2 (which I am using).
Just a bit nervous to enable this in production. I'm also wondering
where a shared tape is mounted for a restore...is it based on the server
that the image was written on, since there would be no overall tape
"owner"? We use alternate restore server options quite
frequently, so I
don't want to break that.
Any comments on media sharing would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan
