I am fighting this one. I have Quantum M1500 lib with 2 LTO2 drives. Put in 3rd drive but it is LTO3. Logically to me (and confirmed by people here) I should be able to tell the drive to write hcat2 density and all should be well but it is not. The installation notes from the drive said M1500 required firmware of 10.0 and I currently have 12.0 so that should not be an issue. I can get the drive to load a tape and even write files to it but is is so slow and painful that it does not seem right. I expected it to be slow as the speed of the drive certainly out performs the rate at which I can supply data. I tried a policy with three clients listed. One of the clients has drive attached locally while other two are coming across a 100mb network connection. I set it to allow 8 streams and each client to allow multiple streams as well. I was getting 8 streams writing to it and while the stream were reporting 3mb/sec or better, the overall performance of the jobs appeared much slower. As a test, I ran the same job to my LTO2 drive and it just flew through. NB60 MP4 Windows 2003 Thoughts, Ideas, suggestions ?
