Charles,

We have global sites using T9940B drives in 9310 Powderhorns utilizing ACSLS
and Gresham EDT and haven't had any issues.

Regards,
Brian

Subject: STK 9940B Tape Drive Exp with TSM?

Our management is asking us to look at converting our IBM 3592J to 9940B.
(no comment)...  Most of our remote sites use 9940B drives with Netbackup,
and in the past year we have seen many 9940b drives replaced (10 out of 40)
in the past year, many tapes getting stuck etc...  I have heard from other
people who use 9940b's and have good luck with them so I'm not sure if our
9940B issues are hdw or netbackup related.

With that said I have a couple questions for those of you using 9940B's....

1) 9940B Drives using ACLS / Gersham Reliable?

2) Can we share a STK Silo with TSM and NBU. (Some of the thinking is to do
DR for some remote sites that have 9940B's)


Appreciate your input!

Regards,

Charles
