No, the other jobs would just queue if a tape drive wasn't available. Once one
of the other jobs finishes on any tape drive, the job would pick up and load a
tape.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] SSO question
Assuming you have several tapes drives share among several media servers.
ie, 10 drives and 3 servers.
if you configure each server to see all 10 drives and then configure a STU on
each server to use a max of 4 drives, you will encounter situations where there
is demand for as many as 12 drives......In the instance where 2 of the media
servers each reserve 4 drives and the third server has only 2 drives available
to it, does this cause all the jobs queued on this third server to fail with
status 134??? I'm thinking that CAN'T be the case....if so, SSO would be
pointless as you would only be able to create STU's to use a total global max
of the number of physical drive you have, in which case you may as well do
fixed assignments, and not SSO.
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question....I'm not using SSO at the moment,
and don't have the resources to suss it out in the lab, and I'm expecting to be
deploying two additional media servers in June.
