Added new stand alone drive, nbu keeps using 2

[threeta]

Hi

Solaris 9 running 5.1 MP4, 1 master, several clients and 3 DLT7000 stand alone drives.

I Added a new stand alone drive, total now 3, nbu starts only 2 backups, instad of the expected 3. There must be a setting somewhere that is restricting me to 2 drives. I've hunted through master and media setting to no avail. even saw the post about mpx, all set to 1. Thanks in advance

Have you looked at the Storage Unit?

thanks comtek - i knew there was a setting somewhere. jnbaSA was not showing any storage Units, but bpadm gave me
Label: akcux60-dlt
Storage Unit Type: Media Manager
Host Connection: akcux60
Number of Drives: 2
On Demand Only: no
Max MPX/drive: 5
Density: dlt - DLT Cartridge
Robot Type: (not robotic)
Max Fragment Size: 1048576 MB

So i changed 2 to 3 and all 3 drives kicked in.

i checked the storage units under jnbSA this morning (back to work with a jolt after a sunny weekend) and managed to see the number of drives setting - not sure what planet i was on when i posted this. Thanks again comtec17.
