Our management is asking us to look at converting our IBM 3592J to 9940B. (no 
comment)...  Most of our remote sites use 9940B drives with Netbackup, and in 
the past year we have seen many 9940b drives replaced (10 out of 40) in the 
past year, many tapes getting stuck etc...  I have heard from other people who 
use 9940b's and have good luck with them so I'm not sure if our 9940B issues 
are hdw or netbackup related.  

With that said I have a couple questions for those of you using 9940B's....

1) 9940B Drives using ACLS / Gersham Reliable?

2) Can we share a STK Silo with TSM and NBU. (Some of the thinking is to do DR 
for some remote sites that have 9940B's)


Appreciate your input!

Charles
