We've standardized on LTO3 for our Wintels so I'm looking to bump up from LTO2 to LTO3 on our iSeries systems. Right now, I have 4 LTO2 3580-H23s and 2 LTO2 3580-L23s. 2 of the H23s are going away Real Soon Now(tm) along with the 730 they're plugged in to; the other four drives are what would be upgraded to LTO3s in a pair of 3582 libraries; one per i5. While I'm a big SCSI fan and not too happy about a fibre-attached drive not being able to be an alternate IPL device, fibre seems to be the best performer in the long run. So, sorry, no actual tape libraries to sell. John A. Jones, CISSP Americas Information Security Officer Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc.

We're looking at one to resolve a TSM issue. We have fiber 3582 with lto2 drives and they work pretty good. Except that last two Wednesday night backups report a media error (different physical media for sure). But I've seen some less than flattering comments regarding the lto3's also.

With fibre LTO3 drives? I'm looking for feedback before we commit to a purchase. I've read a few of the less-than-flattering comments about LTO3; has IBM worked out the kinks yet or are there still reasons to be wary? We would be connecting the library, with two drives, to two LPARs on an i5 via 5704/fibre. One drive dedicated to each LPAR. BRMS will manage everything. Thanks, John A.
