This is one of the prides of TSM - support for many devices. Better approach (IMO) would be to find a reliable vendor in your area and check their appropriate and attractive products for (I)TSM support. Most of the time it will be supported and if is something brand new few months later it usually becomes also supported.

Most of the time i see customer unhappy with the price of 3583 LTO. ( I stopped suggesting single drive libraries for TSM ). I found Magstar 3570 MP is a suitable one for medium sized corporates.I have no idea on Non IBM libraries.Can anybody suggest me Non IBM libraries and corresponding URLs ( Should work with TSM as efficient as IBM libraries and cheaper). Thanks in advance Regards Raghu.

If I understand Henrik's question, there doesn't appear to be a parameter which governs how long a process will wait for the tape drives to become available. We just run a script which cancels all Reclaim processes, whether they are active, waiting for tape mounts or waiting for drives. Richard Foster Norsk Hydro ---------------------------- mountwait parameter in devclass definition regds Raghu ---------------------------- Hi all! Is there a server option or a another why to specify for how long a process will be active? Example, If all drives are busy I might not want reclamation to be pending for hours until two drive becomes available. Henrik.Wahlstedt
