SLP - Excessive tape mounts
Hello,
I am using SLP for duplication to tape. There are about 50 consecutive duplication jobs every night. Each duplication job dismounts the tape after duplication. It leads to about 50 tape mounts, tape positionings before writing and tape dismounts every day.
I want to minimize the number of mounts to extend the service life of tape drives and tapes.
Is there any option to force NetBackup to keep the tape mounted between duplication jobs?
Thanks,
Lubos
I have checked with Veritas support. Unfortunately there is no option in NetBackup to prevent tape dismount within SLP duplication job.
