Multiplexed backups

I have a media server and when jobs use it to backup multiplexing works fine.  When this media server is a client and a backup is run the job just goes one stream at a time.  I have two other media servers in the same policy and they use the multiplexing fine.  Today I thought maybe there was something wrong with the client part of the media server installation so I uninstalled netbackup from this media server and reinstalled it.  I still have the issue everything that is in the policy with this media server will run multiplexed but not this media server.

Has anyone seen this before and if so what was the fix.  I am running 6.5.3 on the master and media server using SSO.  This was happening prior to 6.5 as well.  There is something on the client that is holding it back I guess I just don't know what it is.  Here is the latest backup try and the resulting bpbrm log snippet.

You can set up any server to only run 1 job at a time, even if the policy is set to many.

Go to your master server properties
Client Attributes
see if this server is in the list and choose it.
then look to see if Max data streams is active and set to 1.

Just my first thought as to what it might be.

Thanks J

Don't know how or why that Media server was in there but your suggestion worked.
