TS3310 18 months good function, but:  
There is a bit of oddness in the firmware, where it forgets how many
slots it has.  I think IBM must have something new coming out soon
because support just keeps asking for new snapshots and drive logs
(great use of my time), every few weeks, rather than fixing it.  I've
got everything running tight so I'm not hurting for those two missing
slots, but my patience is beginning to wear thin.

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.
