Problem setting up Netbackup SSO (Shared Storage Options)

Hi All,  Our Netbackup system is version 7.5.0.4. We have 2 tape library (HP ESL322e) connect using SAN. We already had up running drives running as SSO (setup by our System Integrator). Two of  dr...

    Thanks for the output.

    Firstly, we see that stu ESL025_EBS6_MPX  is configured for 4 drives:

    Label:                ESL025_EBS6_MPX
    Storage Unit Type:    Media Manager
    Host Connection:      ebs6-bck
    Number of Drives:     4
    On Demand Only:       no
    Max MPX/drive:        12
    Density:              hcart2 - 1/2 Inch Cartridge 2
    Robot Type/Number:    TLD / 1
    Max Fragment Size:    1048575 MB

    Why is that when only 2 drives are assigned to this media server on this host?

    As I have said before, this will result in over-allocation of jobs for this STU.

    Can you confirm that SSO license key was added to both of these media servers? (Check output of get_license_key on both media servers).

    vmoprcmd tells us that NBU was probably not restarted on media server ebs7 after drives were configured as SSO?

    ESL025_Drive12           No      No                     No        hcart2
        ebs6-bck                   /dev/rmt/1cbn                        SCAN-TLD
        ebs7-bck                   /dev/rmt1.1                          RESTART

     

    NBU needs to be restarted on both media servers.

    Please correct the STU config on the master server and run 'bprdreq -rereadconfig'.

    If above steps were taken and drive 12 is still not used, try to down drive 11 on ebs6 and see if drive 12 gets used.

     

    Let us know the result.
