3590E1A vs IBM LTO

Joe, That depends on the level of TSM you're on. I've got six drives shared with three servers on three different levels. The two on 3.7.4 still drop a drive on occasion, but I haven't seen that on the test machine on 4.1.2. I can't tell you exactly, since this is Sunday am at home, but I thin

You are probably a smaller environment, what LTO was designed for. However, there are many differences in LTO and Magstar. Magstar recovery from a damaged tape is much greater because of the way the data is recorded. LTO drives are about $10K each and Magstar are still about $45K list. Even wi

Be careful changing from roll forward to normal. There are inherent differences in recovery and performance. The Administrator's Guide has the details. -Original Message- From: PINNI, BALANAND (SBCSI) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 9:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED

I agree, but I have not actually benchmarked it, so I did not want to let my bigotry for the Magstar technology influence the discussion. The real issue is reliability. I doubt LTO will be as reliable as Magstar for years, if ever. -Original Message- From: Joshua S. Bassi [mailto:[EMAI

Another issue to be aware of is "backhitch time". When your data stream is too slow, the drive has to stop, back up a bit, and continue writing. Magstar drives excel at this, which is why they are touted for HSM and VTS on the mainframe. LTO drives are much poorer at this. Most applications for
