This was already discussed on the list. Set manummp=0 for lower priority
nodes, lower your highmig threshold for the diskpool and/or increase the
pool as Ryan already suggested. Disks do not cost a fortune today.

        Subject:        Client backups in MediaW state


We often run into this situation: Client backups normally go to the disk
storage pool, but if it fills up, they start going directly to tape.  We
have many more clients than tape drives, so we eventually have a number of
clients in MediaW state.  Eventually, migration frees up a good portion of
the disk storage pool, but we don't see the clients in MediaW state
becoming aware of this.  Instead, they just sit in MediaW state waiting in
line for a tape to become available.  Is there a sure-fire way to cause
all
the client sessions (or a given client session) in MediaW state to
immediately revert to using the disk storage pool again?   If the answer
is
no, is there a way to raise the priority of a given client session in
MediaW state so that it gets the next tape that becomes available?
