We have a TS3200 on one off our smaller sites. Had issues where it
brought our DB2 database to a halt, because the operator tried to eject
more than 3 tapes at a time. The I/O station will not open to be able to
remove the tapes. All library operation freezes, hence my db2 log file
disk pool filled up and could not migrate to tape.

I also found the library (robotic part) quite "slow". Then again I'm
used to a 3584.

Subject: [ADSM-L] IBM TS3310 vs IBM TS3200

We are debating whether to purchase the IBM TS3310 or the TS3200 tape
library for use with our existing TSM environment.  We are an AIX shop
running 4 Gig interfaces on a 4 Gig FC switch.  This equipment will
replace
our existing IBM 3583 tape library.  Any first hand experience would be
appreciated.
