I just installed a TS3100 tape library and connected it to our iSeries 550 via an UTLA3 SCSI adapter (5736).

In my initial B/U test, the throughput was 77MB's / second. The IBM specifications for this configuration says the throughput could be as high as 120MB's / second.

My test was done in a restrictive state against a library containing around 350GB's of large database files and their associated indexes.

Is anyone else using a SCSI attached TS3100? If so, what kind of throughput are you seeing?

We will be replacing the UTLA3 SCSI connection with a fibre channel 5761 card in an attempt to get increased throughput and to allow for hardware encryption. I would be interested to know what kind of throughput others have seen using a fibre connection with the TS3100 drive too.
