I don't think the model is the issue. The issue is, is the machine suitable for
your needs. For Intel based systems I would go for the following:
Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz or better (or equal AMD).
Min. 2GB internal memory (add another 1-2GB if you run ISC on the same system).
Depending on yo

Here's what I'm guessing is happening with your tape utilization
numbers, as I've seen that here too. Until the tape is actually full,
it seems to base it's %full on the "estimated capacity" of the device

Once the tape is full,

The REDuce DB command is not a weight loss program for the TSM

Why it is LTO2 capacity reads differently than 3590's. My 3590's report 40GB

Seems to be a config issue in your config. Maybe the drive isn't
configured to write in compressed format? Maybe the clients are

You will experience slower client backups with ANY configuration that is
RAID5 for your disk storage pools. The reason is that client backup is
100% writes in the disk storage pools, and RAID5 is very slow at writes.
The throughput difference is significant - as much as 75% in our case.

No misunderstanding at all. I know how it works. I see upwards of 100GB on
some of my K tapes but "NO LESS" than 40GB on any of the others.
All I did was "move" 20 servers what were getting the full 40GB compression

Hi,
Is there a way to tell from AIX the number of cleaning cycles remaining in

For our 3494 we have a script that does a "mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL"

find how to do this for our new 3584 lib. I found that the mtlib command

Are your LTO tapes still in FILLING status? They will show as a
percentage of estimated capacity until either they reach the FULL status
or they exceed the estimated capacity while in FILLING status. When in
FULL status, what you see is what you got.

You have to cancel the process or session that is using that tape before
you can dismount it. You can only dismount a tape whose status is IDLE.
Since that tape is mounted read-only and it is waiting for a second tape
to be mounted, a reclamation or move data process is probably running.

We ended up using TSM-managed, ASNEEDED cleaning, so that it could monitor
our tapes.
The web interface shows that there are 10 tapes, each with 50 cycles
available -
Our 3494 lib with 3590H drives get cleaned about twice a day each. The new

has 3592 drives . . . we're not sure what to expect for cleaning frequency.

There are many factors that would decide this. One of them woula be the hosting
