Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 library usage
Posted: 24 Oct 2011, 22:10
We use FireStreamer with DMP 2010 to write to "tapes" that are actually files on external disks. Our library was configured by someone who left the company so I'm trying to understand why it is configured as it is. It has a single library with 150 tape drives and 160 slots. However, after loading media using a file map that contains 150 tapes and starting a detailed inventory, I only see 50 tape drives being used at any given time. So my questions are:
1- What determines how many tape drives DPM uses?
2- When the real media consists of files on a disk what criteria should be used to set the number of tape drives and slots?
Thanks in advance.
