Hello Friends,

ON Main site there are 3 media servers 
1) Main media1 - windows vwware host
2)Main media 2 - 5220 appliance
3) Main media 3 - 5230 apliance

The same setup on dr site. 

1) dr Main media1 - windows vwware host
2)dr Main media 2 - 5220 appliance
3) dr Main media 3 - 5230 apliance


I have created a storage unit 
on Main media 3 

disk type is pure disk 
and for load balancing on storage unit i have used following media servers 
(Main media 3 , Main media 2)

I am taking the backup using the san client. 

what i have observed is when ever my backup stream goes through main media 2 it fails intermediantly error 84 media write error

HOwever when the backup goes through main media 3 its runs perfectly fine.

I mean streams active at any given time on the storage unit (so max jobs running on that storage unit)
