Hi bingo,


That's a good point but that information is on the first msg: 

"each drive has 16 as its target sessions value. This is with NetWorker 7.6 
SP1 on a Linux box."

So, I asume  "max sessions" >= 16 (default is 512, I think.) 

 
The problem may not be caused by the settings on these two drives. If there 
are other drives on that SN, then the lowest target sessions configured on 
any device on that SN will be used  (even if that other device is linked to a 
different pool). This information appears on the admin guide.

Having the "target sessions" parameter on the device configuration seems to be 
pointless, at first.  However, on second thoughts, it does make sense because 
there isn't a "NSR storage node" type available.  So this attribute will have 
to be configured on the devices (a  dedicated SN is defined that way).



Stan,

 do you have more devices on that SN? If not, then I have run out of 
ideas...or maybe this is a bug?.
