Hello Keath
=20
You can switch from MP to FP at the same or greater level. So if you are =
at MP5 you can go to FP5 or FP6.=20

The biggest problem I can see straight of the bat is an MP on a FP =
install.  It has been my understanding that you must chose and stick =
with either the FP releases or the MP releases.  They are not supposed =
to be interchangeable.

        All,=20

        Config : V480, X6768A FC HBA, L180 with 6 x LTO-II Fibre drives =
connected via SANBridge x16 2GB switch. Drives are in 2 split zones [3 =
in each]. Host has NB DC 4.5FP3 patched to MP5 installed.=20

        Problem: Drives are only running about 20M per sec, in line tape copy =
is VERY slow [slower than our SCSI L60], restores are even worse. In =
fact I think I can safely say at the moment our 100k L180 is only =
slightly faster than our old SCSI L60.

        Can anyone shed any light on why? If so - what can we do about it?=20

        Thanks people.=20
