Do you have the HA1 high availability option on your 3494 or 3584 library? If you have HA1, do you think it was worth the money? How often has your robot failed?
We have a couple 3494 libraries with the HA1 option. In 3-4 years of service the spare robot only was needed a couple times. As we think about getting another library we're asking ourselves if it's worth the price and floor space. At first we said it wasn't worth it . . . .but, it's insurance. What would the consequences have been for the couple times we've used it and if it wasn't available? The obvious operations in TSM would fail - this is bad, but not a disaster. No production system is down because of this. The worse thing would probably be restores, if any were needed, would fail. Interested in your thoughts . . . . .
