This is one of the prides of TSM - support for many devices.
Better approach (IMO) would be to find a reliable vendor in your area and
check their appropriate and attractive products for (I)TSM support. Most
of the time it will be supported and if is something brand new few months
later it usually becomes also supported.

        Subject:        Non IBM Libarary for TSM


Hi

I work on TSM soluion design. Most of the time i see customer unhappy with
the price of 3583 LTO.
( I stopped suggesting single drive libraries for TSM ). I found Magstar
3570 MP is a suitable one for medium sized corporates.I have no idea on
Non
IBM libraries.Can anybody suggest me Non IBM libraries and corresponding
URLs ( Should work with TSM as efficient as IBM libraries and cheaper).

Thanks in advance

Regards

Raghu.

The Mountwait parameter only specifies how long the process will wait for
a
tape to be mounted after the process has been allocated the necessary
drive(s).

If I understand Henrik's question, there doesn't appear to be a parameter
which governs how long a process will wait for the tape drives to become
available.

We just run a script which cancels all Reclaim processes, whether they are
active, waiting for tape mounts or waiting for drives.

Hi all!

Is there a server option or a another why to specify for how long a
process
will be active?

Example, If all drives are busy I might not want reclamation to be pending
for hours until two drive becomes available.
