Impact when two disk storage units reference one disk pool

Figure: Impact when disk storage units use one disk pool but different media servers shows how the Maximum concurrent jobs settings are combined when two disk storage units share one disk pool.

In the example, DSU_1 is configured as follows:

  • To use MediaServer_A

  • To have a Maximum concurrent jobs setting of two

  • To reference Disk_pool1

DSU_2 is configured as follows:

  • To use MediaServer_B

  • To have a Maximum concurrent jobs setting of three

  • To reference Disk_pool1

Both storage units reference the same disk pool. Combined, the storage units have a Maximum concurrent jobs setting of five. However, only two jobs can run concurrently on MediaServer_A; three on MediaServer_B.

Impact when disk storage units use one disk pool but different media servers

If the storage units were configured to use both media servers, the media servers could run five concurrent jobs: two from DSU_1 and three from DSU_2.
