Re: Virtual Tape Library

I tried using the IBM 3494-B18 VTS with TSM on the zSeries (z/OS) and
decided it was not a good fit. TSM recalls partially fill tapes to finish
filling it. The recall time was about 4 minutes. Reclaim processing took
forever to bring in reclaimable volumes. Restores took forever with double
recalls of volumes. I am much happier using native 3590 drives.

Anyone tried using one with TSM?
I am mainly interested in a Windows environment, but other experiences would
be very intersting?
Vendor? Size? Price? Ease of Setup? Ease of Use? Operational
considerations? Opinions?
TIA ... Jack
