Hey Richard,

I would try setting my target sessions to something much lower.  Like 1
or 2.  Then it'll do a round robin kind of thing as it gets more
sessions.  FYI target sessions is not a session limit, it is just the
number of session that will start on one device before opening sessions
on another available device in the pool.

Hope this helps,

Joel

Subject: [Networker] Multiple Advanced File device

Hi,

We have recently upgraded to Networker 7.1 with the DiskBackup option.

We presently have 4 adv_file device of around 900 GB each.

I know that once the volume is full, it won't switch to another volume.

My question is this:

When a group start, how will it decide which adv_file volume will it use
?

Right now it seem to choose always the first one, up to it's number of
target sessions...

The result is that the first volume get filled up before the 3 others
get even used...

Is there a way to control this ?

Thank you !

Richard Savage
