All,

Config : V480, X6768A FC HBA, L180 with 6 x LTO-II Fibre drives connected
via SANBridge x16 2GB switch. Drives are in 2 split zones [3 in each]. Host
has NB DC 4.5FP3 patched to MP5 installed. 
Problem: Drives are only running about 20M per sec, in line tape copy is
VERY slow [slower than our SCSI L60], restores are even worse. In fact I
think I can safely say at the moment our 100k L180 is only slightly faster
than our old SCSI L60.

Can anyone shed any light on why? If so - what can we do about it?

Thanks people.
