Another thing to look at is the MAX JOBS PER CLIENT...You can set this
globally, or you can use the CLI bpclient to set it for individual
clients.

Hi,

I have had a similar problem, I presume that your tape backups kick off
before your disk based backups.

Coming from a Solaris system, if you run the bpadm command and then
select g
for Global Configuration..
and then select "l)  List/Display All Configuration Parameters". Look
for
the line that reads
"Max drives this master:   ??", this from what I have determined, should
be
the total number of physical and virtual drives configured to the
server.
IE- 5 physical and 20 disk storage maximum concurrent jobs equals 25 max
drives this master.

Hope this assists you in some way.

We are starting utilize a Net App R150 for disk based backups with 4.5
MP5.  With this setup, I would expect that backup jobs directed to disk
would never go into a queue state unless we had reached the max job
limit on the disk storage unit.  But for whatever reason, we get disk
based backup jobs sitting in the queue for hours for whatever reason.
Tape backup jobs are running and are queued up but I would think this
would have no impact or limit on the disk based backups.  They just run.
Is that true?  Am I missing something?  What would cause a disk backup
to queue?  Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
