Find a reseller who carries Overland Data libraries. The primary source of Overland libraries used to be Compaq, but since the HP/Compaq merger they are obviously going to only selling HP libraries. Overland's libraries scale very well in the midrange and are extremely cost competitive compared to HP, IBM, Adic, StorageTek, etc. They have been selling libraries for a long time and have a good track record and a lot of reference customers who use Tivoli. Dell also sells the smaller Adic libraries for a better price than IBM does, so you might consider them as an alternative to IBM.

Most of the time i see customer unhappy with the price of 3583 LTO. ( I stopped suggesting single drive libraries for TSM ). I found Magstar 3570 MP is a suitable one for medium sized corporates.I have no idea on Non IBM libraries.Can anybody suggest me Non IBM libraries and corresponding URLs ( Should work with TSM as efficient as IBM libraries and cheaper). Thanks in advance Regards Raghu.

If I understand Henrik's question, there doesn't appear to be a parameter which governs how long a process will wait for the tape drives to become available. We just run a script which cancels all Reclaim processes, whether they are active, waiting for tape mounts or waiting for drives. Richard Foster Norsk Hydro ---------------------------- mountwait parameter in devclass definition regds Raghu ---------------------------- Hi all! Is there a server option or a another why to specify for how long a process will be active? Example, If all drives are busy I might not want reclamation to be pending for hours until two drive becomes available. Henrik.Wahlstedt
