Hi Bill,The following is the output of 'status director' when the jobs are waiting. 597 Back Full 146,973 667.8 G fileserver-active is running 599 Back Incr 0 0 obsdata4 is waiting for higher priority jobs to finish It seems that "obsdata4" it is waiting for a higher priority job. Although the fileserver-active job does not have a priority set in the config. Also, obsdata4 has a Priority of 1 (highest), so I am currently unsure on why this is happening.
Hello Kody, The default Priority is 10 if not set. So, you have a priority 10 job running `fileserver-active`, and a job with a different priority (1) waiting `obsdata4`The message `is waiting for higher priority jobs to finish` is a bit of a red herring. It does not matter if the other jobs have a higher or lower priority set, this will be the (misleading) message logged.
If you want more than one job to run at the same time, they will need to be set to the same priority. Sure, you can also play with different priorities, and then enable "AllowMixedPrioritiy" in several places (your Job resources), but this will just lead to more confusing results, I am afraid. It is generally recommended to stick to the same priority for your normal backup and Restore Jobs, and then set the small number of "special" jobs (Admin, CopyControl, MigrationControl, Verify, etc) to something else so they they do not run as the same time as "normal" jobs.
Check the default "Catalog" job to see that while the default Backup jobs are `priority = 10`, that job is 11 or 12 to make sure it is run only when all the other normal, nightly backups jobs have completed so that the catalog has all of the information for all of the night's jobs - except, of course itself. :)
You will need to check the Director's Storage resource simply called `Autochanger` and make sure that it has `MaximumConcurrentJobs` > 1, and that your jobs expected to run at the same same time have the same priority and you should be able to make some progress.
