I am working on 2 sites using multiple storages. One runs OK already 
using 2 changers in parallel.

The second one only has one tape library.

I define one changer using slots 1-4 (storage1) and the 2nd changer with 
slots 5-8 (storage2).

Both changers use the same and only tape drive ... that's why I need 
sequential processing.

I am unsure how to use that correctly.

My approach so far (not yet fully tested):

# daily cronjob

/usr/sbin/amdump config -ostorage=storage1

combined with

flush-threshold-dumped	200 # (or more)
flush-threshold-scheduled	200 # (or more)
taperflush	200
autoflush     yes

this should keep the holding disk files.

Now if I want to write these to storage2: do I run amdump or amflush?

(assuming I use "-o storage=storage2")

That second storage should be allowed to clear the written DLEs from the 
holdingdisk.
