I'm interested to hear the educated opinions from the list.
We are looking into upgrading our two STK L700 libraries from 8 DLT8000
drives in each library to 8 SDLT 320 drives in each library. The reason
I'm so interested in SDLT is because I already have a significant
investment in DLT tapes and the backward compatibility is important to
me. I could keep one DLT drive around if I went with LTO but I think I'd
rather not do that.
Are there any experiences out there that anyone wishes to share on
their implementation of SDLT 320 tapes in STK L700 libraries? I'll take
any and everything (good news, bad news, horror stories etc;). I'd also
appreciate any experiences in going from DLT8000 to LTO.
So far we have experienced very few problems with the L700's in general
and minimal problems with the DLT8000 drives. I would like to think that
will continue to be true with SDLT 320's. I have heard that there are
some out their experiencing frequent problems with SDLT 220 tape drives
in L700 libraries. I'd also be interested to hear from you.
As part of the upgrade we will also be migrating our E450 servers to
Sun V880 servers with 4-Processors each.
Our current NetBackup environment is:
(2) Sun E450 Servers (1 master / 1 Media) each with an attached L700
library
NBU 4.5 (FP5)
