Has anyone ever bolted down a 3494 library? From what I can find and
what IBM CE's have said, it hasn't been done before. Most people just
drop the unit on it's legs however the data center we're in requires all
equipment to be bolted down. Anyone run into this situation?

Paul,
We are not SAN sharing yet. All we have is three TSM servers using the IBM
3494. One server has three 3590 tape drives connected, a second has two,
and the last just one. Sometimes the first server is not really using all
tapes, that is why we want to go to a more intelligent solution. What
requirements?
Thanks,

The main thing using tcp/ip communication method with a 3494 is that it
enables you to use more tape drives.
Each RS232 attached host means one less tape drive that may be put in the
atl.
Also if you have a network outage, you stand the chance of dropping your
connection to your atl.

We have a 3494 with a dual gripper. Based upon experience, I'd
recommend not getting a dual gripper unless you have a high

Does anybody know of the price comparison between the dual
