Pat,
I started an year ago with 3466 configured with a 3575 library L32, I
now trying to deploy this one in a smaller site and getting a 2nd 3466
with C00, 4 ways and a 3494 library, and I'm rather happy.
I liked the idea of single box, although at times I cry out for more
flexibility in upgrades both hardware and software, for example:
I'm still waiting for the 3.2.1 version of ADSM to be release for the
NSM. You shouldn't upgrade a new version when released.
C00 comes with 4 CPUs, 512 MBytes of memory, and 2 SCSI.
Apparently you cannot plug-in another SCSI or simply add memory ... ?
Ciao Mauro
