Hello all TSMers
Present setup as follows :-
TSM 4.2.2.12 running on Solaris 2.7, attached to one IBM 3494 Tape Library.
The library contains two 3590 B1A drives.
We are soon going to be upgrading our 3590 B1A drives to the H1A models so

We are soon going to be upgrading our 3590 B1A drives to the H1A models so
that we can squeeze loads more on the tapes and free up slots in our
soon-to-be-filled library.
Now, as far as I am aware, this is a relatively simple operation. Am I
right in thinking that all that needs to be done

Make sure IBM has removed the cleaner blocks from the drives.
If tapes are being eaten, I'd say it is probably poorly adjusted pressures
in the drive somewhere or something isn't in proper alignment BUT I'm NOT
an
IBM technician
Just to make it clear: the drives do not fail at the same time, but one
after another in a certain period. Today it can be rmt1 which has a
problem, next week maybe rmt2, another three weeks later rmt0 and so on

I experienced some problems with the B1A drives also, but we caused some
of
our own problems.
We were running them 23 out of 24 hours every day.
We cured the problem by going to the E1A

Hi,
We are working with a 3494 IBM silo with 4 drives - 3590 type B - which
is connected to a RS/6000. As we are having lots of hardware problems with
these drives we think about changing them to 3590 drives type E.
Does anyone have experience with this type of tape drive ? I`m mainly

stream the data fast enough to cause a continues flow of data - hence
when there has been a stop in the flow of data there needs to be some

A question about tape-drives :
we have in our tape-library (IBM 3494) Magstar 3590 Modell E drives (E1A).
Because they were bought one year ago, they don' t have the facility to
read/write the extended-length-cartridges, so we use the normal cartridges
with 20 GB uncompressed.
Now
Per IBM they can read both.

The drive can physically tell what type of cartridge is in it. The
Extended Length upgrade adds the ability to read/write the longer tapes,
but doesn't take away any other capabilities.
