increase your disk pool, thats the best solution -----Original Message----- From: Brazner, Bob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 9:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Client backups in MediaW state
We often run into this situation: Client backups normally go to the disk storage pool, but if it fills up, they start going directly to tape. We have many more clients than tape drives, so we eventually have a number of clients in MediaW state. Eventually, migration frees up a good portion of the disk storage pool, but we don't see the clients in MediaW state becoming aware of this. Instead, they just sit in MediaW state waiting in line for a tape to become available. Is there a sure-fire way to cause all the client sessions (or a given client session) in MediaW state to immediately revert to using the disk storage pool again? If the answer is no, is there a way to raise the priority of a given client session in MediaW state so that it gets the next tape that becomes available? Bob Brazner Johnson Controls, Inc.
