Just to follow up.
The clients on a particular network segment --> should be in a separate policy --> that policy would specify a network specific
storage unit --> that storage unit
specifies either the IP or dns name assigned to the Media server's IP
--> that IP is in turn assigned to the media server's NIC which is on
the same network segment as those clients.
A single media server can have
multiple names, (virtual media servers) and multiple storage units assigned to
each.
As a suggestion, create one DSU file system. Underneath
the mount point create a directory for each storage
unit.
Each storage unit will use its subdirectory for
its images.
Assign the tape drives to the underlying host name, not
the virtual name.
Create a vault profile for each virtual media server
that duplicates the disk images to the host's tape
STU
I have a couple hundred of these types of large client
media servers that are known by multiple names. Each media
server writes to SAN attached DSUs and duplicates to SAN attached LTOs in
SL8500s, and it works.
