Using Multiplexing --- But backup job not progressing
Hi Guys,
In my curent account we are using ( NB5.1 MP4 Solaris 9, 64 bit kernel). We have two windows media servers. Each media server having 3 LTO2 tape drives. We created the storage group by including these media servers. Environment is working fine with 98% successrate. But the only problem is we have a policy, which is backing up totally 50 clients.
Policy Name: Filesystem_Windows
Policy Type: MS-Windows-NT

Effective date: 05/27/2004 13:06:30
Backup network drvs: no
Collect TIR info: yes, with move detection

MPX on schedule level set to 4. And storage unit level mulitplexing set to 4 [Ondemand - yes & Number of drives for each storage unit is 3. Fragment size is 2048 MB].
Problem::: Getting messages in activity monitor as "Positioning <media> to file 483. Positioned ; position time 00:00:00. Like this its going on from past 1/2 hour. I know this is because of multiplexing problem. How to avoid this seeking time.
Please help me to fix this problem!!
Thanks in advance.
