At my company, we are looking at FATA drives to put our HSM ML1 (1 year period) data on it . Does someone have some experience doeing this ?
Today we do not use ML1 and write directly to ML2 , NATIVE tapedrives from SUN/STK. Current drives are fast enough to do the HSM migrate and recall work. But we are running out of slots in the robot and want to replace current tapedrives with new K1000 drives from SUN/STK. This drives can write much more data to tape (capacity drives), but are also slower . We also want to eliminate the native drives for HSM work because HSM can not put enough "work" on the drives due to its 16K blocksize limitation (IBM has no plans to change this in the nearby future). So ... we are investigating FATA and you ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
