I recently worked with a customer in a similar environment:
STK Powderhorn, ACSLS on Solaris, TSM on Windows 2000, 9840 fiber attached
drives.
This is a killer system. The disk pool is 500 GB of SAN attached RAID5
disk. We're able to move over 100 GB/hour to 10 drives. We're hammering
the same storage pretty hard: both migration and backup stg occurring
simultaneously. If we could run one or the other to all 10 drives we could
probably see even higher throughput.
The ACSLS portion of this works very well. We've had to "learn" how it
wants to work with checkin and checkout of volumes but that didn't take
long. TSM shares the library with STK CAM. Except for one fumble fingered
incident, no problem sharing the library.

Subject: TSM ACSLS Support vs GRESHAM EDT
First post to the list but have been following it for a while: a superb
source of information! Thanks to all that monitor it...
Is anybody out there using:
- TSM ACSLS support (Advanced Device Support)
- with STK 9840 drives
- on STK Wolfcrek robot, residing on a mainframe (OS/390)
- through STK Library Station on the same mainframe
- single TSM/AIX server (small installation) -- no drives sharing, no SAN...
Any problems with ACSLS support (or EDT for that matter...)? Or is it
running fine? I have tested Gresham EDT and it worked well, but I am now
testing TSM ACSLS support and it also seems to be working fine...
I would like to get some real-life feedback before committing in one
direction or another. TIA.
