We are starting to examine the idea of replacing our aging 3494 (installed 1995) due to difficulty in getting parts and having more frequent outages due to robot issues.
Since we have 17-TS1130 drives, the natural transition would be to a TS3500/3584. If we go down this route, one issue might be the floorspace/placement, which might require a weekend eject-push-pull-reload. Never having dealt with any tape library other than the 3494, I am trying to collect as much info as I can on doing a swap-out. Is it as simple as defining the new library, moving the drives/paths to it, changing the devclass to point to the new library, checkin everything (scratch/private)?? Am I missing anything? -- *Zoltan Forray* TSM Software & Hardware Administrator Virginia Commonwealth University UCC/Office of Technology Services zfor...@vcu.edu - 804-828-4807 Don't be a phishing victim - VCU and other reputable organizations will never use email to request that you reply with your password, social security number or confidential personal information.
