Use the disk with more space in a Pool
Hi,
I have some Iscsi disks, some have 10 tb and others 5tb in a Pool of disks.
Sometimes I have more space on the disks of 10 tb like 2tb, but the disks of 5tb are full on that moment, like some 100 gb free.
But BackupExec always insist to use the disks of 5 tb with low space.
*Life Recicle is On and working.
There is a way that change something for it use the disks with more space first?

See the section in the BE 16 Admin Guide entitled "Specifying a default selection method for a device in a storage device pool" on page 414.
You need to use BEMCLI to change the selection method of the storage pool. e.g.
Get-BEStorageDevicePool -Name "<name of storage pool>" |
Set-BEStorageDevicePool -SelectionMethod MostFreeSpaceFirst
