When you try to archive using a 2 or more tape drives library and the drives are all idle and there are lots of freespace in the free pool, the archive will allocate more than one tape to archive than it needs. When submitting multiple jobs to archive, it will archive to 2-4 tapes if you configure to archive to 2 pools. Very inefficient, in between there are many dismouting and remounting tape. For e.g. if you have a 4 tape drives library, it will allocate 3 tapes in each pool, and then randomly using those 6 tapes to archive on two pools, see table below. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Pool A 19 7 19 60 60 60 Pool B 40 14 23 23 14 40 |
