Hi all. We have a pretty big library with multiple tape drives. I was
wondering if there was a way to setup chg-zd-mtx to use multiple drives, or
if I have to go learn how to use chg-juke?
The way I use my multi-drive library is to run 2 simultaneous 'amdump's on
the server, each (obviously) with its own config and split the clients
between the 2 dumps. It means a little more admin overhead, but you get
the benefits of using the drives in parallel.
Note that doing this with LTO3 drives requires a fairly beefy server to
keep both drives happy.
