Jeff, We have a Solaris master server and 15 media servers all using SSO. It is pretty easy to set up the tape drives. The media manager configuration guide will also walk you through it. We find the easiest way is to use the "configure storage devices" wizard. Make sure that the master server is the first entry in the bp.conf file for the media server and that the media server is in the master servers bp.conf file (this will require bouncing NBU on the master server to acknowledge the new entry). Then just run the wizard adding in your media server as a new system. As long as your media server can see the tape drives it should set it all up for you. Make sure the media server is zoned to the tape drives. There is a utility called scan under /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/goodies. If you run that and it can see all the tape drives, then the wizard should work for you.
Hope this helps.

My experience with NBU is limited to a single master/media server with multiple clients, all attached to a public IP network, but my new NBU environment is somewhat different: - Solaris master/media server, attached to public network and a SAN - 2 Solaris media servers, attached to public network and a SAN - Numerous UNIX & Windows clients, all on public network - Tape library with LTO3 drives attached to the SAN There is one SAN. The media servers have storage on the SAN dedicated to them and they function as file servers for clients which need disk space. I have already set up the master/media server (NBU 6.0) and successfully tested backups/restores of itself and a public network client using the SAN-attached tape drives in the library. My next step is to set up a media server so that it can backup itself and its SAN-attached storage to the SAN-attached tape drives resident in the tape library. I have installed NBU 6.0 and the SAN media server license on the first media server. It's not obvious to me how to move forward at this point. I need to make the tape drives visible to the media server and configure a policy for running backups on the media server. I am assuming that this policy will exist on the master server. I also have the SSO option so it is my understanding that the media server should be able to use any of the tape drives rather than a dedicated subset. Is there a particular manual which describes how to do all this? Any suggestions are welcome.
