I just upgraded my Solaris 10 master to 6.5.4
I use SLP to create backups to a VTL then duplicate them to tape, has worked 
pretty well.

With 6.5.4, even though the job priority of duplications is higher, backups 
that are starting keep control of the tapes and I end up with queued 
duplication jobs waiting for the backups to fill up the tape.

So even though I have a higher priority queued duplication job waiting for a 
tape, a lower priority backup will grab that same tape to write to it.

Anyone else have these issues?



I found documentation for /usr/openv/var/global/nbrb.conf at 
ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/307083.pdf
 page 162 and following:

RESPECT_REQUEST_PRIORITY = 0
SECONDS_FOR_EVAL_LOOP_RELEASE = 180
DO_INTERMITTENT_UNLOADS = 0

(These are defaults)

Is this what I need to modify? and what to set the values for?
