just an fyi on the L700e, ACS is required when you take advantage of the
"e" and chain two together.
if you use the library originally as a TLH library and then want to add
the second library, you'll have to change everything around in NetBackup
(and add an ACSLS server or their Windows equivalent to your environment)
to make the library an ACS library (which may also effect some of your
scripts... commands like vmchange, etc. are not the same for all robot
types).
also, if you have 2 power supplies/pdus the drives do not take advantage
of the redundant power. if you lose a power source, power supply, etc.
the robotics will remain up, but you'll lose any tape drives that were on
that power source. if you look behind the power supply/pdu, the drive is
plugged in to one pdu or the other. there is no way to make it work off
of both. that's why STK sells it as a second power supply that is
required with over 10 drives, not a redundant power supply.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] ATL bake-off. STK vs. IBM
We're in the middle of getting ready to phase out our current DLT system
and move into LTO-2 using either the StorageTek L700E library with IBM
LTO-2 drives or the IBM 3584 L-32 and an additional D-32 also using the
IBM LTO-2 drives.
Both seem to be great products and its been tough choosing one over the
other.
Im looking for any ( positive or negative ) feedback on both products from
people who actually have either of these units.
Feel free to reply off-list and depending on the amount of info I get
back, I will provide a summary to the list.
Thanks.
