Hello,
First make sure that you created the tape library via jb config correctly,
i,e multiple paths to the server and storage node have been properly
configured, in your case 10 multiple paths.
Below is the exaple of first tape drive getting ready for DDS and sharing
over storage node, you need 10 of this.
Drive 1, element 256
Device path 1 ? \\.\Tape0
Device path 2 ? storagenode1:\\.\Tape0
Device path 3 ?
After you have made sure Tape0 on MS is TAPE0 on SN and everything is
working, you should check and make sure that unique drive ID for each of
the Tape drive were assigned, i.e unique hardware id for the above drive
is "ADIC - Drive 1" you should see 10 of this, onnce this is confirmed and
you are able to mount lable tapes etc from the storage node, make sure you
use correct drivers,i had hell of a time getting shared enviroment to work
because a certain version of IBM tape drivers that works fine on MS when
configured with DDS\sharing enviroment constantly reported Tape busy
errors.
Any way, last part is to
make sure any clients you wnat backed up setup correctly, in my case, i
created unique group and then assigned each client in it to backup to
Storagenode ( Look at preferences TAB, where it says storagenode, you
wanna see, storagenode1 ( my storagenode name) listed instead of
nsrserverhost. This will tell the networker to direct that client to the
storagenode server, try it out, i am pretty sure if everything else is
correct you missed this step.
