In our environment, we have 3 possible values, and will list all 3 on
some clients.   

In this case, a clustered device, you can use "curphyhost", which means
the current physical host will backup the machine, and is a dedicated
storage node, because it can only backup items that are on this machine.


Nameserver - this would be the name of the storage node(non-dedicated),
not the backup server. 

Lastly, nsrserverhost, which is your "normal" backup server.  

As I said, in some clients, we will list them in this order:
curphyhost
nameserver
nsrserverhost

In other clients, we have just the one definition, "nsrserverhost".

Subject: [Networker] How to route save job to a storage node

I am confused about something. I have a save job that I need to write to
a 
tape drive on a storage node, and not to the tape drive on the Networker

server. I know how to do that for clones - by listing the storage node 
under "Clone Storage Nodes" in the "Globals 2" tab of the appropriate 
client definition. But how do I specify a non-clone client to save to
the 
tape drive on a storage node, instead of the Networker server? The tape 
drive is in the appropriate pool, and is mounted. The storage node is
not 
a dedicated storage node (that I can see - the drives on the node do not

say dedicated). But I don't see where in the client definition I can
list 
the storage node as a valid save device; all the sections speak of
storage 
nodes ...

My first time trying to do this. Can someone point me in the right 
direction?
