Sounds like Tivoli Storage Manager. TSM is an IBM product that is bundled in with the Enterprise Edition package. We use it to back up our clients and servers to i5 disk and then to tape. Great product. Early versions were native OS/400. Then they went to PASE. The latest version, however will not even run under PASE. Requires a linux partition or some other platform. Odd as he!! that they charge you for a product in the Enterprise package and it won't even run under any form of OS/400. My boss has an appointment with the new iSeries head - this will be brought up. Along with several other opportunities for software growth on our platform.

We are replacing a 3570 and looking at the advantages of fewer tapes that hold more data, plus a comprehensive solution to backup up all the servers, Windoze and iSeries alike.

A sample of our backup rates to 3580 LTO2: 730 (2000 CPWs, V5R1, 6534 controller): 70GB/hour 830 (1850 CPWs, V5R1, 2729 controller): 203GB/hour i5 570 (6000 CPWs, V5R3, 5702 controller): 270+GB/hour All tests were libraries with 70+GB and 4000+ objects (JDE database), save settings included DTACPR(*YES). Only the i5 actually pegs what the tape drive can handle; the other two are hitting other limits in the AS/400. For the 730, I'm firmly convinced it's the SPD bus. For the 830, it might be the PCI bus; I never really investigated as it was 'fast enough', especially when compared to the 730. Also, again if backup window is a concern, would the faster checkpointing in V5R3 help? John A. Jones, CISSP Americas Information Security Officer Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc.

It's essentially a terabyte of disk with software to make it look like LTO tapes, and an attached LTO tape drive. Has anyone had any experience with this unit or this type of solution? Any gotchas you could share?
