Re: NSM 3466 Question

Watch out!

           If you're talking about the model with DLT's then please
note (N.B.!) that getting the 3rd and 4th drive with 15 more slots
(minus 1 for cleaning) does not double your tape drive availability!!

It only gives you a second setup that is identical to the first
including the disk space.

You end up running two separate domains and that's it!
(and with that you have to do manual load balancing by registering
 users evenly across both tape pools!)

 Sigh!
