Hello All

Apologies for sounding like a stuck record - I have submitted this query but
never saw it posted, so I don't know if it actually went out! Here goes:


> We currently have two RS6000 J30's in an HACMP cluster  with shared SSA
> disks.
>
> Our ADSM backups are done onto two 3570 B12's, both of which are connected
> to the one RS6000 (Which is also the ADSM server).
>
> We are planning an upgrade to a 3575 L06 / L12 for increased capacity. It
> has been suggested that we connect the tape drive to the SSA loop via a
> 2108 SSA/SCSI adapter so that we are no longer dependant on one of the
> RS6000 to support the tape drive.
>
> Has anyone used / investigated the use of a SSA / SCSI adapter for such a
> tape-drive connection ?
>
> Any performance problems / improvements or other suggestions would be very
> much appreciated.

> We run AIX 4.1.5.  ADSM Server 3.1.2.20
