Some questions on Storage Unit groups.
The purpose is to have a couple of Storage Units grouped so that backups will go from 1 Media Server to another when the first Media Server is down or busy AND the job stays
queued when all Servers are busy.
There are several options:
Prioritize. Which is unacceptable as this will fail the job if no non-busy server is found. Or can this be changed?)
Failover. When a server is full the job will be queued (possibly leaving other Media Servers idle = Not good either).
Round Robin. Same as first: Job will fail when no Media Serve is found.
Load Balance. The explanation in the guides are not clear about this. What happens when all Media Servers are busy (full) ? Does the job stay queued (and for which STU)
or does it fail ? Requires Flexible Disk option license when using DSU.
Or are there other options that I did not think of to accomplish this ?
