Hello All,
I am wondering if anyone can help with examples or pointers to complete
the following setup. I have a semi-working setup already but I think its
maybe the 'wrong' way of going about it.
We have two (maybe more in the future) separate tape drives not in an
auto-loader or anything like that that we would like to use for the
backups. They are both identical LTO-3 tape drives.
What I would like is a setup where a Job is run and it backs up to a
free tape drive, if the 1st drive is in use, use the next (or wait on
the one with the shortest queue of jobs to be run).
Currently with my setup a Job is run and it chooses the tape drive as I
want above (I have set them up as kind of a 'fake' autoloader setup with
a strange hand cooked mtx changer script in place). The problem comes
about when the drive the job is using fills up, at this stage I would
like the job to move onto the next drive and continue running on this
drive. Unfortunately the Job just sits there waiting for a tape in the
current drive (that may not happen until morning and the other drive may
be sitting idle).
Any one have any ideas on if this setup is possible and how to execute
it? If you require any further information I will post it, just let me
know what you want to see.
