Nothing wrong with partitioning, and with only 3 partitions it's easy to manage. I did this for multiple sites and it worked well. This was simply used for a physical way to ensure that each site rep would put the correct tapes (took a lot of hammering away at them to ensure this was done properly) in the correct partitions.
Failing that, the jobs would fail so just make sure the correct media is in the correct partitions/slots. I never had a slot for a cleaning tape...took up a valuable space in the libraries/autoloaders, and whenever you run an inventory it runs the cleaning tape and effectively uses 1 of it's "turns".
The rest looks fine...just target the jobs appropriately.
Thanks!
Hi CraigV,
I have gone through your post below. I have a 1/8 autoloader with 3 partitions, but the jobs keeps running for more than 2 days and i have to cancel most times. When another scheduled job runs it just freezes on 0mb and a lot of time i restart the server before i can run a new job successfully.
What do you think the problem can be?
