We are considering upgrading from 3590-E1A drives to 3590-H1A drives...the
media write challenge is on the horizon...i.e. you can write 384 tracks on
scratch tapes but not on older K tapes that have 256 tracks.

So the question is- when you have limited budget and time (i.e. you don't
want to buy 2x the drives to do a speedy move data type migration to the new
drives), what are some of the best practices for upgrading drive technology,
migrating data for the new tape drive/media writes, without creating havoc
for day to day operations?

We could just upgrade the drives and write all new data to scratch tapes-
but this seems wasteful & risky

All ideas, commentary, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Hello All,
Does anyone know the website to log TSM issues
with TSM instead of using the phone?
