Hiya,
I've come across an almost-new Sun Storedge L9 DLT tape array that would
be excellent to replace the DDS-3 autochanger I'm using somewhat
successfully at the moment.
The StorEdge L9 used a HP DLT drive and requires a HVD scsi controller in
the host, but that's no big deal as they're easy to obtain (both Sbus and
PCI versions).
What I'm curious about is whether any of you have got an L9 set up
connected preferably to a Sparc system running Solaris which uses Amanda
for backup management? If not, I might bite the bullet since the L9 array
is selling currently for about A$1000, and that seems like a damned good
price for an item which is still one of Sun's current inventory products.
8-)
Let me know if you have any advice to offer before I make a decision on
purchasing the L9 unit.
Regards,
Craig.
