Cloning be default only uses the master server's devices to read the
volumes from which clones are made and only the master server's devices
to write the clones - am I missing something?

Failing that, you can setup a restriction on the devices in the clone
pool such that only those you wish to use are selected - I do this to
keep clones in a partictular jukebox since I have two jukeboxes attached
to the master server, one being a VTL

Subject: [Networker] Setting Source Clone

I'm trying to figure out how I can force legato to only use the servers
devices for source & target cloning.

Our setup is as follows

1 server w/3 CDL devices & 2 physical devices
3 storage nodes w/1 CDL device each

All backup are done to the default pool which all 6 CDL devices can
access, but I only want the source tapes to be mounted in the servers
CDL device because of better throughput and can clone data faster. It's
not a case of drives not being available as they are both empty.
