Hi all,
I have a set of related Jobs (multiple clients + always a single
Catalog) that are scheduled together and always run in sequence. I would
like to force each of these related job sequences to be written to its
own tape volume.
Currently, I achieve this by setting the MaxVolumeJobs for each tape in
that pool to the exact number of jobs for each of these runs. Afterward,
that volume is marked full and the next job sequence is written to a
different tape. That has served me well thus far.
However, recently, I see greater fluctuations in our number of clients
(and their associated jobs). Thus, my initial approach has become
unwieldy, as I would need to manually update MaxVolumeJobs every time
the number of clients changes.
Is there a better way to achieve my goal that can deal more robustly
with varying numbers of clients? Something like UseVolumeOnce, but not
applying to individual jobs but only after the Catalog job is
complete ... ?
Would VolumeUseDuration work for you? That's what I do: 'Volume Use
Duration = 23h'
Unlimited Jobs are allowed in a single Volume, but 23h after creation,
that Volume is DONE, no new Jobs can be added to it, and the next day's
Jobs have to get a new Volume.
