Have you set you max Jobs per client to More than 1 (IE if you expect 4 streams 
that's 4 jobs)

It sound like you did everything correctly to me.  Maybe it's as simple as 
stopping and starting netbackup to make sure all your changes were implemented.

drive


Hi all,

I have been put in charge of a Netbackup Domain.  Since all my experience is 
with Omniback, needless to say I am in need of some info.  I have read the 
admin guides, etc, but can't seem to solve this problem:

I have configure the robot and the two drives on the library, I have created a 
storage unit for this library, set the Multiplex Per drive to 4 and have set 
the max concurrent drives used for backup to 2.  I have created three volume 
pools one for the Windows backups and one for the Unix backups and of course a 
scratch pool.  I have added 14 tapes to the library, and have done the robtest 
etc, and also made sure that the tapes show up in the scratch volume pool.  

I have the Windows policy set to start at 9pm and the Unix policy to start at 
10pm.  The Windows policy takes 2 hours to complete it is still active when 
the Unix one kicks off.  However, why won't the Unix policy use the other 
drive? I look at the Activity monitor and can see that the Windows backup job 
is writing to the tape, but the Unix job is queued until the Windows backup is 
complete.  

I have the max multiplex set to 4 on both policies and both have multiple data 
streams enabled, both point to the same STU and their respective volume pool.  
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?  Do you have to create an (2) STUs? 
Even though I am only using a single library? 

This is driving me crazy, I've done everything I could.  

Thanks for your help.
-Adam
