Why are my groups not using Default tape volume? 1

[jciarlette]

I have media labeled Default and Valcomars. The groups I want to use the Valcomars tapes are explicitly set to use Valcomars tapes. For some reason my other groups not associated with any tapes are no longer using the Default labeled tapes but using the Valcomars Tapes. Am I missing something?

I assume you have setup your pool Valcomas wrong (too may selection criteria). Just specify the group - that's it.

This should also correct the problem with your "other groups".

 

[jciarlette]

I have not changed the Selection Criteria. All fields are blank except for the Levels, Full and Inc are only selected.

 

[605]

Well, the level is also a selection criteria.

Do you even have a pool Valomars at all?!
If not, to which pool did you assign the tapes when you labeled them?

 

[jciarlette]

Yes I do have a Valcomars pool. When I label Tapes for the valcomars pool they are assigned to the Valcomars pool. Is there anywhere I can look to see why Networker is trying to use the ValcoMars tape for other groups?

What's your selection criteria for this pool?
Only levels
full
incremental

Does NW use the pool at all? - If not, which save sets are sent to the Default pool?

 

[jciarlette]

I found out that the levels is the next criteria used. Since I had Full and Incr selected, Networker was using that pool. I reconfigured my Pool and all is fine now.
Thank you for getting to look in the right direction.
