[Virus checked] Hi, what is the way to monitor the performance from a scsi-adapter and the tape drive. I can observe disks, network, cpu performance with some tools (topas, vmstat, iostat, ....), but I cannot see the really datarate from a tape. Reason is: We chnage 3590 type B to 3590 drives type E. The type E is faster, but what is the way to monitor this? Best regards, Frank
