You can set the "Maximum Concurrent drives used for backup" in the
storage unit, but that doesn't give you any control over WHICH drives
are used, which sounds like what you want.  I think you could use
tpconfig to manually set which drives (that the OS can see) are
available to NetBackup, but I'm not sure you could then create a 2nd
storage unit to use the other drives.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Storage unit number of drives


Guys is there anyway to create a storage unit and use only a certain
number of drives?

Im Netbackup 5.0mp4 on sol9. I have 5 drives available in a L700 3 of
which are Shared SSO. I want to create a storage unit of 3 drives ( 1
shared and 2 not ) so that a network based job doesnt tie up 2 of the
shared drives and cause my media servers using SSO to fail. Im running
ITC so need 2 drives at a time.

Dave
