[Veritas-bu] SSO overhead question

Our environment HP-UX 11.31 a SureStore 20/700 library with 10 LTO1 drives, NetBackup 6.5.2 Master / Media server and one Windows Media server using SSO. The Windows Media server and SSO are new and so far everything is working as planned. We may be adding another Linux Media server using SSO. The Windows box has 2 SSO licenses but is zoned to be able to see 4 drives.

My question is, should we change our configuration so any SSO attached Media server can see all the drives in the library and let NetBackup handle drive allocation? Will the overhead of SSO doing sharing checks cause noticeable performance problems? Are there any other “gotchas” or things to look out for with SSO?

Thanks in advance…
