Subject:  Antwort: Re: SQL-Backtrack and multiple tapes

Steffan, I am new on the list but am familiar with SQL-BackTrack for Informix. I
know this is a different product but it uses and OBSI module which specifies
"ADSM" instead of tapes or drives. The "mount points" needed, thus, are not
directly attibutable to the tape or drive resources available but seem to
represent communication threads available. During testing, we found that
sometimes backups would work with 1 mount point, they would work most of the
time with 2 and work all the time with three.  Hope this info is of some help.

Rolf,


update the client's registration parameter maximum number of mount
points to 2.
