At various jobs I ran the STK L700 (either as such or as OEM from HP or Sun before Sun bought them). The last couple of years of the HP OEM here it was having many issues but it was also very old by that point.
We replaced it with the Quantum i6000 last year and have had almost no issues with the robot itself. (We have had issues with the cleaning tapes (LTO5) report "failed memory chips" on occasion but that hasn't really affected operations. Tomorrow we're doing firmware updates to try to resolve those.) Back when I used Qualstar (nearly 10 years ago) we had frequent issues with very new robots. It finally turned out that there was a rubber bushing at the base of robot arm/hand that had broken and the operators knew it but never bothered to communicate it to Admins. Once we found out Qualstar fixed it rapidly and we never had another issue while I was there. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2011 7:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Veritas-bu] Robot inquiry/poll/how well does your robot/s work? Hello, I was curious how have people's experiences been with the various robot vendors? A thread usually comes up every so often on this mailing list and I was curious what people's thoughts are? The usual suspects: ADIC Dell ..(?) HP IBM Spectra Logic STK/Sun/Oracle Qualstar Quantum Am I missing any other types that are current in production and still being manufactured?
