We're looking at replacing our current LTO1 tape drives with LTO2
drives, and I was wondering what the performance is like using LTO1
media on an LTO2 drive? Will I see the same performance benefit, just
without the increased capacity, or is the performance benefit less with
an LTO1 cartridge?

We see the exact same behavior when attempting to perform multi-threaded
restores using the "resourceutilization" parameter and the maxnummp = x.
As you say, some of the time it works as expected, sometimes it does
not.
I can guarantee that my restores have not been flowing from a disk pool.

I believe the correct upgrade path is 5.2.0.0, to 5.2.6.0, and finally
to 5.2.6.2
However, I've seen several posts that reference the need of an "interim"
level of 5.2.2.0. Is that really the case? Am I forced to go to
5.2.2.0 before going to 5.2.6
Wanda,
What utility are you using to monitor the %busy for the tape scsi bus on
AIX? That would be very helpful to me to be able to see that
information.
Thanks!
