Have in mind you will need IBM driver for IBM drives (when they become
available for STK) and TSM driver update for HP/Seagate. Thus you have to
wait either support with IBM drives or new ITSM maintenance supporting
HP/Seagate LTO-2 drives. The answer "whichever is earlier" is not good
because you cannot predict at the library ordering.

Subject: Re: StorageTek with LTO2?
Storagetek LTO-2 drive information. I received this last week. I have not
had an update yet. Not sure if LTO-2 has passed testing yet.
STK is looking at GA the week of Feb 7th for LTO2 with HP drives- SCSI
only.
The FC LTO2 is targeted for April/May release with IBM Drives.

I find SAN based library/drive sharing and scratch/drive pooling _very_
easy
with STK libraries/Gresham EDT/ACSLS. I can't tell you whether it'd be
easier with IBM libraries or not as I've never run one in a shared
environment.

Subject: StorageTek with LTO2?
Does anyone has info about StorageTek with LTO2? We are just about to
purchase an enterprise tape library. I will need to make a good
comparison between IBM and StorageTek LTO1 and LTO2 with 8 drives. I
would start with about 10 - 15 TB data on tapes. Any comment will be
appreciated.
