NetBackup 4.5MP and FP allows you to create storage group, so you can
specified which set of tape drives to use first.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] [NB45] prioritizing tape drives?


Hello all.

We have the following situation.
NB45 with SSO.
2x STK9840
1x STK9840B
1 Master server
1 Media/Fileserver

2 STU's. both STU's have all the Drives.

Now we would like to prioritize witch drive is used for a specific
backup or 
restore. So backups from server 1 (with a specific policy) allways use
the 
STK9840B, BUT when the 9840B failes it will use one of the other drives.
And 
backups from server 2-100 allways use the other 9840 drives.

I know we can make different STU's with different drives but then you
lose 
flexibility when the drive in the STU failes.

Hope i made my idea clear a bit.
