Actually microsoft has no problem with buffers > 64k, though you may have 
to adjust the maximum sglist in the driver registry settings.  I think the 
maximum is 1MB.

RE: [Veritas-bu] LTO3 Buffer Setting Recommendation






Microsoft doesn't support buffers more than 64k.
But all new fibre card's drivers can accept more buffers.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] LTO3 Buffer Setting Recommendation

 
Hello,

Does anyone have a SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS / NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS recommendation
for LTO3 on Windows2k3?

I know the first response will be to create the bptm log and try different
things. I'm just looking for maybe a good starting point to which I will
then fine tune.

Details:

NBU 5.0 MP3
HP LTO Gen 3
SAN Media Server: DL580 G4



Thanks,

Kris
