I have tested this scenario moving to scsi connected 3590e's and fc connected 3590e's. Using scsi to got about 20Mb/s and fc about 25Mb/s. I'm using hardware compressions. I haven't been able to get the high levels of throughput the IBM claims you can get from moving to fc. Although I haven't tried testing using the move data command yet. My test were coming from my disk pool to tape.

TSM Server Version 4.1.3 OS=AIX 4.3.3 ML8 3494 Library 4 Tapes 3590E 2 Tapes with SCSI 2 Tapes FC IBM says the 3590E a much more faster with the FC adapter. So we want to put one FC Card into our SP and test it. Then the TSM server should run with SCSI and FC tapes. Later will upgrade the next two drives and move the TSM SERVER to a new Hardware.
