Try comparing the IBM3583, with the same libraries from Dell (can't
remember
name) and Adic (Scalar100). I don't know, but there could be a few bucks to
save. I believe that Adic have quit a few other libraries in their series.

You also have Compaqs MSL5026 (very scalable - OEM'ed from Overland),
StorageTek L20,L40,80,L180,L700(I have best experience with the larger ones
- L180 and up).

Back to what's good and not - check Tivolis site for Supported Devices
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/requirements.html
and check the libraries/drives mentioned there.

Subject: Non IBM Libarary for TSM


Hi

I work on TSM soluion design. Most of the time i see customer unhappy with
the price of 3583 LTO.
( I stopped suggesting single drive libraries for TSM ). I found Magstar
3570 MP is a suitable one for medium sized corporates.I have no idea on Non
IBM libraries.Can anybody suggest me Non IBM libraries and corresponding
URLs ( Should work with TSM as efficient as IBM libraries and cheaper).

Thanks in advance

Regards

Raghu.

The Mountwait parameter only specifies how long the process will wait for a
tape to be mounted after the process has been allocated the necessary
drive(s).

If I understand Henrik's question, there doesn't appear to be a parameter
which governs how long a process will wait for the tape drives to become
available.

We just run a script which cancels all Reclaim processes, whether they are
active, waiting for tape mounts or waiting for drives.

Hi all!

Is there a server option or a another why to specify for how long a process
will be active?

Example, If all drives are busy I might not want reclamation to be pending
for hours until two drive becomes available.
