I better stop using SD and spell it out, I think I caused confusion with that. Each storage device can be thought as a single tape drive and thus it can load only 1 volume (and thus pool) at a time. So if you have 2 storage devices you and all your jobs are on different pools you can at most run 2 jobs at a time. I say at most because you would either have to use the virtual disk autochanger (google for that) or have your jobs specify which storage device to use. If 2 jobs want the same storage device but have different pools the second job will have to wait. What I was trying to say in the other posts is for file storage you can add as many storage devices as you want and have them point to the same exact physical storage (folder / mount point) so in this case you can have more than 1 pool loaded per physical storage location. The best way to handle which jobs go to what storage is to use the virtual disk changer as I mentioned above.
