I could see some problems if your ACSLS setup has
watch_vols going (all tapes are not visible to all servers automatically).
Enabling Media Sharing across all media servers could then open the door to
NetBackup requesting a tape mount on a server that can't actually see that tape
maybe.
Not something I've seen, just a possibility.

I was just looking over this last
night, and was surprised it's not on by default.... I also ran across a statement in the guide that said you
should use caution with ACS libraries, but I could not tell why you needed to be
cautious. Anyone have an idea?

| [Veritas-bu] Anyone using media
sharing in 6.5? |
|
I'm finding that I'm vaulting quite a few partially used tapes, because
each tape can only be written by the server that owns it, and I have 7
media servers. The new media sharing option in 6.5 looks like it would
help to optimize the tape usage, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried
this out yet? I checked the knowledge base and there are several bugs
related to media sharing that are fixed in 6.5.2 (which I am using).
Just a bit nervous to enable this in production. I'm also
wondering where a shared tape is mounted for a restore...is it based on the
server that the image was written on, since there would be no overall tape
"owner"? We use alternate restore server options quite frequently, so
I don't want to break that.
Any comments on media sharing would be
greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu
