slp duplications backlog

[rupadeviy]

Hi,

i have SLP back log of 120TB.

now we have new library with 6 additional tape drives,now i want to use those additional tapedrives for backlog duplications.

how to use new tape drives for backlog SLP duplications

Is the Storage Unit name still the same as before library replacement?

Have you updated the Storage Unit config to reflect the total number of drives?

NBU will automatically  assign duplication jobs to xx times the number of available drives.
This value is determined by SLP parameter TAPE_RESOURCE_MULTIPLIER.

Hi,

Have you created new Storage unit for new tape library, if yes then you willl need to use this new Storage unit for that to get used you will need to update SLP to use new STU. But don't update storage unit in SLP via GUI. To update STU you will need to run below commands:-

<install path>\netbackup\bin\admincmd\nbstl <SLP name> -all_versions -L

<install path>\netbackup\bin\admincmd\nbstl  <SLP name> -modify_version -version <version number> -residence oper1,oper2,opern...

Kindly increase Concurrent write drives to 6 for new Tape library Storage unit configured.

Kindly increase Tape Resource Multiplier to 10:-

Goto Admin Console->Master Server Host Properties->SLP Parameter->Tape Resource Multiplier
