Hello,

If anyone has gotten the SparcStorage Library jukebox to utilize
2 tape drives on Solaris 2.5, I'd like to hear from ya! I can't seem
to get the jukebox to recognize tape drive #2. However, both devices
show up when I do an /etc/LGTOuscsi/inquire.

(Btw, can two tape drives backup different save sets from the same client
in parallel?)

TIA,
Dave

I don't have any first hand knowledge of this, but have been told Solstice
backup is only licensed for 1 drive.

Well, it work first time out of the box here.
Enterprise 3000 with SparcStorage Library. Are you sure you have all the
required s/w? You need the Soltice backup Server (or network) package
the Jukebox s/w module (1-16 slots JSM-16) anf the TurboPak.

hope this helps

True for the license that is included with the Solaris server edition.

The answer for the question is the TurboPak. Only that one allows
the parallel use of more than one tape drive. As for the other question,
Legato Networker aka Solstice Backup does not currently allow backing
up one filesystem to more than one tape drive. If you have separate filesystems
they will be backed up concurrently if you set the options for the client
(default is 4, only available in "details mode") and the server correctly.

If you want to split one filesystem, you can play with a backup script.
I did a Perl script that splits Oracle raw disks out to separate
save commands. (save is the command that runs the client side of the backup.)
Do a "man save" to see what it does.
