Hey y'all,

Wanted to close on the tape capacity issue that I'd brought to
discussion 2 or 3 weeks ago.

We ended up replacing the DLT 7000 drive on our system with an
SDLT 220, this allowed us to have sufficient capacity to allow
planner to backup all partitions and not skip any of the higher
dump level large partitions.

Note, Solaris 8 requires rev 10 of patch 108725 in order to drive
the SDLT (we had been at rev 6), at the time I applied the patch
rev 14 was current.

This also allowed us to move the DLT over to another system to
replace a DDS 2 tape, with more than enough room to consolidate
a second client to it (eliminating an amanda server). Admittedly
we are a little over capacity there (2 - DDS2 drives for a DLT 7000)
but I plan to downgrade the tape drive when we free up a DLT 4000.

                                                thanks,

                                                Brian
