Re: [Networker] Differing Storage Node value

No : for a client, you cannot have a different storage node
affinity list.

All instances of a same client name share same client affinity list.

The %% ONLY %% solution is : 
Work at pool level and associated drives :
 Define pool A and B, A with only drives from 
storage node A and pool B with only Storage node B's devices.

Then, force your backups to go to pool A or B in save commands
(using -b flag) or select, at pool level, groups that can use pool A or
B.

Doing so, group 1 will write to pool A (and off course SN A),
group 2 will require pool B's volume. As none cannot be found
on SN A (not allowed by pool restriction) SN B will be used.

Hope that helps,

Thierry

I would think you could set up explicit saves and then only list the
storage
node that you want to use in the "Storage Nodes" field under preferences
of
the this client definition.

Subject: [Networker] Differing Storage Node value


Looking at the backup of my Storage Nodes, of which I have 8, and was
wondering if there is a way I can specify a different Storage Node value
on
their client definition that differs from other definitions.

The reason I ask is that under certain circumstances I want the Storage
Node
to be the Storage Node for itself (e.g. when I am backing up EMC BCVs
mounted on the SN), but when I do a Local drive and System State
backups, I
want it to use a common Storage Node value.

I can't be the first person to ask this.

Cheers,
Jim
