It only shows 4 'required volumes' and the Oracle/Unix pool is limited
only to 3 drives. These drives should be enough and surely it will not
mount all required volumes and read concurrently.
We dedicated 3 drives on 2 pools (Netware/Win/NT clients and
Oracle/Unix clients). If we don't do this, data will be multiplexed in
so many volumes and there's a chance that one environment will hog all
the drives and cause backup failure/timeout on the other pool/clients.

When you look at the "required volumes" in the restore app, how many
tapes are required for the restore?  Does the number exceed your 6
drives?

Cheers,

Subject: [Networker] Jukebox problem/error


Hello all,

During backups, the jukebox load tapes normally, but when I perform
file
restores, the jukebox or Networker cannot load/mount the required
tapes,
I need to manually mount the tape thru NWAdmin GUI before it can mount
and read it.

The message in daemon.log is as follows:

'Jukebox 'STK9714' failed: cannot allocate enough devices for
specified
volumes.'

Here's our environment:
Server O/S: Unix-AIX
NW v6.1.3
Jukbox: STK 9714 Timberwolf with 6 DLT7000 tape drives.


thanks in advance,
