There is no mechanism wherein you can take two physical libraries and

3575 libraries can be configured with something like a dozen 3570

The upgrade process duration is minimal. The dependency is the size of

few hours. You can expect it to go smoothly with respect to the level

1. Go for an *80, whatever you can afford. Disk (SSA) is more important
than RAM. Couldn't justify much more than 256MB on ADSM -- havn't any
