Drives Used while writing to tape

[jibujacob]

Hi,

I have 4 L3 and 6 L4 drives

When i give backup of 6mount points simultanously for L4 drive, only 5 l4 drives are usedand 1 L3 is used.

Number of drives permitted in 'q deviceclass' is seen as 6 for L4 library.
Also maximum number of mount points for the node for which i take backup is seen as 10.

So what may be the issue..

My aim is to use 6 L4 drives simultaneoulsy to take backup of my 6 mount points..

Regards,
Jibu

issue resolved...

dsm.sys had and entry to include one mount poing using a separate management class and this management class used L3 tape's storage pool....
