I've just had the firmware upgraded to 1550 (don't know the patchname) from 12U7 and, at this stage, it doesn't look like it has fixed the read performance problem I audited 2 tapes with ~25% utilization in a filling state (I don't expect many gaps in data). One took 3 hours the other 5. During

Rejean, Have you heard a release date for the PGA3 microcode? The 0CE1 and 12U7 levels are killing me on tape reclamations and stgpool backups... Is there a site where i can get the 0BN1 code and downgrade the drives? I'm not sure if downgrading is supported/recommended but i'm getting

Hello all, I applied OCE1 microcode to 2 3583 drives recently, and i think performance is suffering now! Backup seems fine, but tape-to-tape operations is taking forever... perhaps restore is suffering as well, i have not tried any large restores. I'm seeing the same behavior Rejean describes

Something else you could check. We have been having the same kind of symptom on our 3590 B1A drives. In conjuction with the CE, we opened the covers on the drive and physically watched what was happening. To our surprise, we saw that every so often the drive would decide that something was

Hi! Your problem sounds familiar to me. We've similar problems running HSM (or now: Tivoli Space Manager) with a LTO 3583. (Ok, it is not the best way to use a LTO Library with HSM, but that was not my decision). For a recall of 2 GBs we need half a day. But: a normal restore of a client is as

John, This problem is very interesting to me as we are thinking of throwing away our 17 ATL libraries running Legato's NetWorker 6.0.1 in favor of 2 LTO 3584's running Tivoli Storage Manager (we will actually use a Sun E420). I thought colocation was suppose to speed up recoveries, it sounds as
