Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with the max parallelism value for
jukeboxes? Here's the deal. We have an ATL P1000 SDTL jukebox with two
SDLT drives. The last time I re-configured the jukebox using jbconfig,
it ended up with a value of 1 for the parellism, but I thought I
remember it being 2 before. We have an older P1000 with 3 DTL7000 drives
and its value is 2. This was the value that was assigned by NetWorker
when we last ran jbconfig for that guy. We have a Storagetek L80 with 4
LTO drives, and NetWorker assigned it a value of 3. I'm wondering if
maybe the value should really be 2 on our SDLT library so I changed it.
I'm not exactly sure I really understand the purpose of the field value
and what I should set it to, but we have been receiving some sporadic
Device or resource busy messages on the drives on the SDLT library
(reported from NetWorker), and there have been a number of suggestions
regarding this, like adjusting the load, unload and sleep values, but I
noticed this field and thought maybe this might cause this if not set
high enough? Also, does this value affect how many simultaneous
inventory operations you can run? It seems like the value could be as
high as the number of drives, but maybe my thinking on this is unclear?
Maybe it's not that elementary?

Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

George
