SERVER entries limitiation?

[keelin_hart]

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of SERVER entries that can be specified (or rather are read) in a unix client's bp.conf or Windows registry?

Thanks.

Keelin,
I don't recall seeing info about a specific limitation on the number of server entries you can specify on a windows client or a unix bp.conf file. If you don't find this information in one of the admin guides then you may have to dig deeper or maybe even place a call with Symantec.Message was edited by:

I'm not sure why you want any more than the number of servers that have a full media server license since a SAN media server cannot do restores on another client.

This is nothing to do with SAN media servers. Our company standard is to have an entry for every media server in the NBU domain on each client. I am currently collapsing one backup domain into another, and am therefore giving the clients visibility of both domains until the migrations are complete. So there are a fairly large number of server entries...

The planning and performance guide shows that a master server should not have in excess of 70 media servers. So I would suggest with 2 domains to use no more than 140 server entries. But you could probably go higher than that. Is 140 a large number of media servers? some sites yes and some sites no. I have about 98 media servers but the majority are SAN media servers since the licensing is much cheaper.
