Hi Tommy, I'm using a TS7720 with 2 3592 tape drives. The biggest issues with the unit had to do with whatever tape management system you'll use. I'm using TLMS and I finally got all the pieces to work together.
I'm also a big user if DFSMShsm and recalling tapes is really fast when bring back datasets that have been migrated to ML2. I also purchased a product called CA-CopyCat to take certain datasets on virtual tapes and create a single 3592 cartridge for off-site storage. One issue to worry about is disaster recovery. The best and the most expensive solution for that is to have 2 TS7720; one at your shop and the other at the DR site, then recovery is a snap. * * *George Rodriguez* *Specialist II - IT Solutions* *Application Support / Quality Assurance* *PX - 47652* *(561) 357-7652 (office)* *(561) 707-3496 (mobile)* *School District of Palm Beach County* *3348 Forest Hill Blvd.* *Room B-251* *West Palm Beach, FL. 33406-5869* *Florida's Only A-Rated Urban District For Seven Consecutive Years* On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 7:16 AM, Tommy Tsui <tommyt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi ALL, > > Our shop currently using VTS B20, and planning to either migrate the 7740 > (no migration need) or migrate to tapeless 7720 or Sun storageTek VSM > tapeless solution.
