load/span all the media at one time?
Posted: 15 Mar 2011, 15:43
First, I am new to Filestreamer...
I am using DPM2010 in a 2 tier scenario. My onsite DPM server only back up to disk and stores for 64 days. My DPM server at our offsite (DR) Collo backs up the most critical data from the onsite backups across a 5mb site-to-siteVPN.
At the DR site, I have a 5tb DAS that stores these offsite backups to disk for 8 days and then I do a a full to tape once a week. I purchased an inexpensive 45tb ISCSI NAS device that consists of a main unit and 2 expansion units. This essentially gives me 3 ISCSI LUNS (3 mapped drives) on the DPM server. I used the FileStreamer instructions and created 150 68.2gb media for each LUN. Since this colo is offsite, I have no need to load/unload media and once this is full, I plan on just adding more NAS devices/media. Obviously, I don’t want to make 1 LUN across all 3 units.
I guess the question is can I just load/span all the media from all the luns at one time? I would like to avoid changing media.
