Hi Don,
The concern is that the 3590 tape drives are soon to be end of life, January
31, 2015 to be exact. IBM's externally available documentation says the 3590
H1x drives will be supported until October 2015, but our CE's manager told us
that is incorrect, and All the 3590s fall off support end of January. We can't
get extended support for the tape drives apparently due to IBM's inability to
get spare parts, so mgmt is looking to see if we can restore the data from the
stack tapes back into the VTS cache on a stack-tape-by-stack tape basis in
order to minimize the number of mounts and read/rewind cycles being performed.
Our 3590s (both tapes and drives) are getting tired and we are trying to keep
them going long enough to get off them. We've considered third party EOS
support for the 3590s, but the concern there is the same as with IBM, are there
spare parts available to keep them running?
Well,
I have both MAGSTAR and 3490E drives. Both has no service contract, but
both are still serviceable on per call basis.
I don't use them except software installation (and other rare
activities), so they do not wear.
However IBM EOS date for HW does not mean actual death.
Regards
