HP for both the LTO4 and LTO5 libraries. After talking to Sun/Oracle it
sounded like the IBM drives don't work so well, at least in the SL3000.
The engineer mentioned that there problems with the robot inserting
tapes too quickly for the loading mechanism.

We've been running six LTO5 drives in an STK SL3000 with no issues for a
few months now. We've had way fewer issues than with our older STK
SL3000 that has eight LTO4 drives. You definitely want to make sure you
have enough bandwidth from the servers to the drives. You probably want
FC8 to the servers and at least FC4 to the drives.

  Hi,
Does anyone run LTO-5 libraries today?
How are your experience of LTO-5?

I have only installed one library and we got a lot of problem with
does drives.
Just wonder if that is only one timer or if many other also have
problems with LTO-5

I don't care what TSM version you are running.
