Tell you this, we currently have a 3576 with 6 fiber drives in it. 3 are
dedicated to 1 lpar of Linux running TSM. The other 3 are shared between
4 lpars of i - each with their own fiber card. All attached to a switch.
We don't have to vary on/off or anything else. We just have to ensure
that only 3 lpars of i try to access the library at once. BRMS keeps
track of which lpar used what tape and so on. You have to have the
networking feature configured for this.
I was hoping for an LTO5 upgrade but it looks like we will be going to a
LTO4 upgrade. Much cheaper and allows us to faze in tape cartridge
upgrades since LTO4 can both read and write LTO3 tapes. My boss is
chasing down the numbers but currently looking at replacing several SCSI
attached 3573 libraries with your configuration. Everything will be
connected through a switch. Our BP is getting us what we'll need. One of
these people has his name on 9 redbooks.
