Go to SolutionClone Storage Nodes Setting
Hi,
I've got some problems that are vaguely similar to the problems listed in this thread:
https://forums.emc.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=463932
But I thought I'd start a new one as its not quite the same.
Our setup is that we have one Networker Server (BACK01) and one Storage Node (BACK02). Both servers are on the same network and have clients spread across them in no real order (we have two just to spread load). Both BACK01 and BACK02 have access one half of the drives on our Clariion Disk Library (4 each), and Tape Library (2 each).
The problem is that when the cloning starts, generally only the two physical tape drives (the target of the cloning) attached to the BACK01 are used (the two on the SN are rarely touched).
The Client entries for BACK01 have the 'clone storage nodes' set to itself, and BACK02 as secondary. The Storage Node as the 'clone storage nodes' set to itself, and BACK01 as secondary.
Also when you try to do manual cloning it will always only use the Networker server drives (never the SN ones).
Presumably I've not configured something quite right. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Out of interest how does Networker decide what node to use for the cloning?
Also I should mention that both servers access tapes within the same pool - this may be part of the problem?
