Oooops, I expressed that incorrectly.  The drive(s) should be uniquely named.
If a drive is visible to more that one host, it should be visible as the same
name on each host.  It comes from the 2nd page of the change attributes of
a multihosted drive using the java GUI.

=] Just curious.  This is the first time that I have heard about naming the
=] drives different on each server.  What is the purpose of this?  Does it
=] cause problems if the drives are named the same on each server?  The wizard
=] I have found is very helpful if you only have one media server in your
=] environment, but if you have more than one host controller it can really
=] mess things up.  I myself also use the tpconfig in a script to configure the
=] drives.

=] Dan, do you actually see the shared drive on media server, server2?  I found

=] =] I am backing up via 2 media servers across a SAN to shared tape drive in

=] =] library.
=] =] 
=] =] When I try to backup files from/through media server, server2 I get 81

=] =] can tell that the vmd is in fact running.  If I play around with vm.conf
