On Demand Only
What is On Demand Only in netbackup? and When should we use on demand only in netbackup?
Hmmmmmm.....
From the context sensitive help in the GUI (storage units):
The On demand only setting specifies whether the storage unit is available exclusively on demand. That is, only when a policy or schedule is explicitly configured to use this storage unit. Clear the On demand only check box to make the storage unit available to any policy or schedule.
For SnapVault and NearStore storage units, On demand only is selected by default and cannot be changed.
Caution: If On demand only is selected for all storage units, be sure to designate a specific storage unit for each policy or schedule. Otherwise, NetBackup is unable to find a storage unit to use......... so a STU set as 'on demand only' will only be used when a policy/schedule is set to specifically use (demand) it!
