For those with VTL's can you give me an idea of how many tape drives you
have defined? I'm listening to the vendors setup ideas and it seems to
me the 10 tape drives they want to define for TSM sure seems like a low
number when you take into consideration all the things that need to be
done and keeping in mind the disk storage pool goes away and every
backup now goes to tape.

 

I'd sure like to hear what sort of things you had to do to make things
run smooth. I didn't recommend getting the one we have and certainly
haven't heard anything good about it here or elsewhere.

 

Thanks,
