We
have L700's and SL3000's here onsite.
My
experience with the SL3000:
- Has
a MAP issue where when my robot is rebooted, unless the fibre is pulled out of
the robotic controller, the MAP will never come online. If the robot is
allowed to boot fully, then the fibre is put back in, the MAP functions as
advertised.
- SUN
support hasn't been fantastic, but the product is solid enough to not need them
very often (they don't have an answer to the above)
-
software partitioning (not ACSLS) is great and intuitive, but don't rely on
their service techs to know how to set it up
-
robot hasn't had a blip in almost a year now, other than the
above.
I've
worked with HP ELS712e's in the past, very similar to the L700, very few issues
as well - I'd recommend them too, as they seem to be considerably cheaper than
the SUN options (as is usually the case ;-)
Cheers, and enjoy your search.

Steve,
We have several
libries, including an SL3000, a few SL8500s and i2000s, among others.
The SL3000 and i2000 have been rock solid.
The SL3000 offers an additional longbot for redundancy, which is nice if you
can afford it. The i2000 does not have this option.
Either way, I think you'll be happy. You might want to
look into the physical dimensions of the SL3000 to see if you have room for
the size you need.

| [Veritas-bu] Tape Robot
Comparison |
|
Looking for info on comparisons between tape robot technology.
We've been using a Sun/Storagetek L700 for about seven years. It's
been running spectacularly. We're getting ready to add a second robot
and we're looking at a Sun/Storagetek SL3000 with eight LTO4 drives. My
CIO asked me if I had looked at competitive robots and I had to answer no, and
now I'm being asked to do due diligence, but I'd prefer not contacting new
resellers, as then my phone will be ringing nonstop......
I'd be happy to solicit opinions from
the mailing group though........
Links to any info on this topic would also be appreciated, as
cursory google's didn't yield much.
Thanks,
Steve_______________________________________________
