Have found StorageTek libraries brilliant with all flavours of TSM on all flavours of OS's. Support is brilliant as well and the engineers are fantastic in implementing, migrating (from other libraries) and upgrading on all different OS's. Currently using L40, L80, L180 and SL500 to name a few.
Have been thru same upgrade from 3583 to L180 - if your engineer is any good, you'll have very little issues. IBM thought there might be data integrity issues going from LTO1 to LT02 drives - found no problems... and this happened well over a year ago. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Fosdike Sent: Friday, 6 May 2005 3:39 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: TSM and Quantum or StorageTek decision - help needed We are currently upgrading our hardware (IBM 3583 L72 LTO1) to either StorageTek L80 LTO2 or Quantum M2500 LTO2/3. The decision is made hard because from a hardware and support perspective other users we have spoken to can only sing the praises of both. So it will come down to dollars and interaction with TSM. We have found it hard to find a Quantum M2500 user who uses TSM also. Are their any user experiences that anyone could share to help us from a TSM point of view?
