You probably are not initiating your migration processes early enough...
might have to take it down to about 80%
also if you clients run with client compression, they preallocate based on
allocate size and then release any unused portions after the transfer is
complete... in other words, if you have 4 sessions sending 25 GB each but
they get a good 4/1 compression, you would still need 100 GB in your
diskpool to prevent any from going straight to tape.

Subject: MediaW problem
I run my backups at night around 10:30pm. I have around 50 servers doing
incrementals concurrently at this time. I noticed that about half are
experiencing MEDIAW when I do a "q session". They seem to be waitng to for
a tape to load in my library for them to write to but the storage pool that
these clients write to first is disk based then when it fills to 90% it
should migrate to tape. My question is, if they are suppose to be going to
disk storage pool first and it isn't full then why are they waiting for
tape. Which is what I am assuming is happening.
Thanks
Richard
