Even though a media server (or NDMP host) can see all 6 drives with SSO dosen't mean it will use all 6. The number of drives that can be used is specified in the storage unit, under maximum concurrent write drives. If you specify 1 or 2, no job using that storage unit will use more than that many drives (although the actual 1 or 2 physical drives it uses can change.) -Jonathan

I also have two other tape drives that are utilized for other backup jobs. There are currently 2 media servers and 1 master server. If I implement SSO, will my duplicate jobs see and utilize all six tape drives? Will Tucker | Storage Administrator Enterprise Technology Services Manhattan Associates, Inc.
