This would never be a 'problem' per se, it could just queue jobs.  Are these
storage units configured to use the same drives in the same robot, or
different ones?  If different ones, is this because they have multiple drive
types (ie. DLT and 9840)?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Is it wrong...


I have a client with the following configuration:

L700 - in a SAN with NetBackup 3.4 and SS0

Upon reviewing their site, I noticed several Storage 
Units configured for each media server.  They each 
contained the same number of drives and referenced the 
same robot number (0).  I was concerned at first 
glance, but then realized that functionally this wasn't 
a problem.  However, could it eventually become a 
problem?  Could contention be an issue down the road?

Example

MEDIASRV1
  STU1   Robot (0)  Number of Drives (10)
  STU2   Robot (0)  Number of Drives (10)

MEDIASRV2
  STU3   Robot (0)  Number of Drives (10)
  STU4   Robot (0)  Number of Drives (10)

Another brain on this one would help...

thanks

david
