Hey, absolutely.
I love the Qualstar LTO tape library we have. It's an XLS 832700. We have the
one LRM and two
MEM1's. When we first got it in 2007, we didn't know whether to trust the
library or NetWorker
about whether a tape was really in the drive, so we took the cartridge slots
off the doors so
we could see into the LRM and visually check (without opening the door) what
the drive status
was. That has been helpful, but the XLS has never lied to me about the status
of a tape drive
(while NetWorker is periodically confused). Anyway, we have capacity for 2,505
cartridges.
The tape library is rock solid, and after much work with EMC, NetWorker solidly
supports the
library now.
