That's the key question.  I read his note to say that they were connected to
the 2nd Media Server but he wants to write to them via the 3rd Media
Server.  If I read it correctly, he can't do what he wants.  If you read it
correctly, you're right and my answer was wrong.

We need to know *which* media server those 4 new drives are physically
connected to.

2008-08-18 Thread Sanjay . Chahar
Thanks all who have given me response.

I don't want the second media server drive is written or controlled by 
third media server. 
I want to add another four drive in my existing Tape Library & want to 
connect  that new four tape drive to third media server. 

One Tape library having one robot & eight drive, first four drive is 
already connected with my existing media server( second media server) & I 
want to add another four connect it to third media server.

Will it possible.

Thanks & regards

Yes, you can do this and you don't need any special licensing to do so.

Very simple, just attach the 4 new drives to your new media server (SAN
or direct SCSI, it doesn't matter) and configure Netbackup to know that
the robotic control host is one of the original media servers.  This
configuration can be done via the device wizard in the admin console or
via tpconfig on the new media server.  That's it, nothing more to do.

these tape drives.  If you want a system to share tape drives, you need some
