We are also looking to upgrade from a 3494 to a 3584. So far as I can tell the 3584 seems to be practically a drop-in replacement for the 3494.

Looking at updating our tape libraries for other rojects which might use ltfs. We currently have the ibm 3494 library with 3592-e05 (ts1120) drives. It seems that we must go to the 3584 to get access to lto type tapes, yet keep using our e05s for tsm. I would like to hear others experiences with the 3584 with or without tsm. If possible, compare and contrast with the 3494. Thanks all for the assistance.
