Jack / Scott,
We actually just added this entry and (knock on wood) it appears to be doing
what we want (and what you guys have said it would !!). I should have reached
out to the mailing list sooner because I've had a sev 2 ticket open with
Symantec since Monday and they have yet to even make any suggestions about
possible solutions. We'd tried adding MEDIA_SERVER_OVERRIDE entries in the
bp.conf but it wasn't until I was reading a technote from one of the replies to
my question today that I saw that NetBackup's "logic", when it comes to media
server allocations for restores, would ignore bp.conf entries.
I'm going to leave the ticket open with support, just to see how long it takes
them to get back to me, but for now I think we've got a resolution.
Thanks,
Mark Glazerman

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Issues with media server dedupe pools /replication /
restores ??
Here's some info explaining the behavior:
http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-media-server-load-balancing-affects-restores-openstorage
We use the USE_BACKUP_MEDIA_SERVER_FOR_RESTORE option in our environment as we
have multiple MSDPs at locations across the country. I don't want a media
server in Vermont reading a backup image in California to restore to a client
in North Carolina. I hope future versions of NetBackup handle this situation
better and don't assume that I always want the least busy media server to do
the restore because it may not be the best server for the restore based on
physical proximity.
