Ah... Yes I see where you are going.... But my way will just put the
image on the tape, no multiplexing at all. I have a Virtual Tape
Library, and I am in the process of creating 5 robots with 20 drives
each.
To avoid multiplexing you have to dedicated a drive to each channel, and
that is what setting the MPX=1 does.
When you are limited on tape drive resources.... You can not do this. I
used to just have my L700 with 11 9940B drives, and could have never
considered this with the fact that I backup over 35 databases. But now,
with the VTL I can configure as many drives as I want to configure.
So to answer the question, un multiplexing will commit 1 drive to each
channel. You can not multiplex different backups onto the same drive at
the same time.

This is good in a sense, but say you have 10 tape drives for example.
If you are multiplexing other backups with the DB backups, does the RMAN
policy write with LEVEL 1 multiplexing to separatae tapes and the other
backups still take place for the other (assume MPX=4) 3 levels of
multiplexing on the drive? Or does the MPX=1 job utilize the entire tape
drive? Does it make sense what I am mentioning?
Essentially you'd want separate tape media IDs for each server but you
still want other servers writing for the other 3 levels of MPX on that
tape.
Justin.
