This is a silly question... but are you using an LTO7 tape?

I know you can use LTO6.... just not sure it's as fast. We have the same
drive.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] 3580 LTO7 Tape drive

Hello guys

I'm trying to speed up a nightly save to a 3580 LTO7 stand alone tape drive
and would like some advice with the following:

a. Will specifying COMPACT(*NO) on the SAVLIB CMD expedite matters ?
we now use DTACPR(*DEV) and COMPACT(*DEV)

b. On a 3580 spec web page I found a remark pertaining to Full Hight vs.
Half Hight
models . see remark No.7 on this page


https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/tape-drive-model-characteristics-lto-and-3592-drives
Is a Full Hight model Faster the Half Hight? or Vice versa?

TIA
Gad
