That's not quite right, I have 4 pools loaded in my autochanger and have
had for several years.
Hmm. I assume that you never had slots where tapes from different pools
were loaded, because that's what will break your jobs. The reason is the
way the DIR determins which volumes have their InChanger and Slot
information reset.
The problem comes when there are multiple simultaneous backups
congigured and there is contention for different pools on the same drive
in the autochanger - it causes the second job to abort instead of queueing.
I had no problems with different pools running simultaneously on
different drives.
The workaround for pool contention is to disable multiple simultaneous
backups, which unfortunately defeats the purpose of having multiple
drives, but is better than having backups aborting.
Quite true.
I guess you'll love 1.38.5 ;-)
