I get it from an IBM internal/Business Partner mailing and recieved permission to post it here. Regards, Steffan +++ The latest LTO drive microcode (0CE1) provides a significant performance improvement for customers doing certain types of tape operations. This level of code dramatically improves the overheads associated with buffer flush (write 0 filemarks) and end of file (write 2 filemarks, backspace 1 filemark). TSM does a buffer flush after every transaction. The end of file impact would be greatest for customers writing a series of files to the LTO tape drive. For tape applications that intensively use buffer flush or are writing a series of files we have seen 30% to 50% elapsed time improvements after installing 0CE1. 0BN1 was the previous LTO drive microcode release. For 3580, 3581, and 3583 mach types (Customer Setup), the customer can download 0CE1 from: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/358x Choose 0CE1.fmr Instructions for verifying the current LTO drive microcode release and how to install the new release can be found in the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and Users Guide available from: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/ For 3584s, have the customer request his CE update the LTO drive microcode.

This falls way short of what I would >expect when the advertised sustained transfer rate is supposed to be >15MB/sec native (30MB/sec compressed). ... Debbie - That indeed sounds poor. As Nathan suggested, look into the microcode level. Also make sure you have a recent/latest device driver level in the 3466. I also wonder about the SCSI (assuming that's the 3583 attachment method). Look for errors in the AIX Error Log. Use SMIT to check the 3466's SCSI adapter for having correct settings. If there is a Host Interface Board in the 358x, check for it being in the correct mode (LVD/HVD) to match the SCSI adapter in the AIX system. Assure that the drive is terminated, SCSI-wise, and that the correct type of terminator is used. I presume that the 358x units are the only things on the SCSI chain, which is to say no mongrel stuff to cause the SCSI bus speed to be dropped to a low common denominator, and nothing to generate SCSI noise on the bus. Something is definitely misconfigured there. Given that it's a 3466, perhaps IBM should be doing the analysis to find out what's wrong. Richard Sims, BU
