get it ?

Just to make it clear: the drives do not fail at the same time, but one
after another in a certain period. Today it can be rmt1 which has a
problem, next week maybe rmt2, another three weeks later rmt0 and so on

Re: 3590 Tape Drives

We have all four drives chewing up tapes on  regular intervals. To make a
rough estimate I would say that this happens  once or sometimes twice  a
month and all drives are effected in the same way. I have no idea if this
is the normal wear  due to lots of mounts.
We always check out the tape which caused the problem and in most cases we
have a technician change parts of the drive or even the whole drive.
The age of our tapes is different. We exchanged a lot of them to new ones,
but also still  have  tapes which are 3, maybe 4 years old.

3590 Tape Drives

[Martina Sawatzki]

Hi,

We are working with a 3494 IBM silo with 4  drives - 3590 type B -  which
is connected to a RS/6000. As we are having lots of  hardware problems with
these drives we think about changing them to 3590 drives type E.
Does anyone have experience with this type of tape drive ? I`m mainly
interested in a kind of comparison concerning performance and availibility
between the both types B -> E.

Thanks a lot
Martina
