We've upgraded to 5.1 MP4 and are now experiencing issues with Disk staging. We've got a ticket open but interested to see if anyone else has experience these issues:
The disk staging process now automatically takes 4 tape drives per DSSU when going off to tape. This is a problem if you have 6 DSSUs and only 15 tape drives, not to mention those drives are needed for other media servers.
It is now also creating these files on the DSSU media servers in /usr/openv/netbackup:
root@<hostname>:/usr/openv/netbackup# ll bid*
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1984 Dec 15 13:20 bid_file_bladestore_oracle0

In the files are a listing of images to get backed up.
