We have had problems, since our upgrad efrom an i2000 to an i6000 in October 2010. The drives were IBM LTO-3 and now they are HP LTO-5. They disappear from the OS. If we reboot the library once a week it seems to be fine. Quantum is either unwilling or unable to provide an answer. I3AZ is

We've been running six LTO5 drives in an STK SL3000 with no issues for a few months now. We've had way fewer issues than with our older STK SL3000 that has eight LTO4 drives. You definitely want to make sure you have enough bandwidth from the servers to the drives. You probably want FC8 to the

HP for both the LTO4 and LTO5 libraries. After talking to Sun/Oracle it sounded like the IBM drives don't work so well, at least in the SL3000. The engineer mentioned that there problems with the robot inserting tapes too quickly for the loading mechanism. On 01/19/11 11:25 AM, Steven Harris
