Around here? It can over a minute! Why? Our backstore tapes are 3592J, about 300GiB uncompressed. The time to mount and spin the 3592J tape down and restore to the VTS cache can be over a minute. Especially if the cache is overloaded and must first have virtual volumes removed. > > When in doubt. > PANIC!! -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
