ok, thanks for your response. reason is, we're testing a new encryption product (compresses/encrypts) and the lto3 is new to me as well. I did see elsewhere that the lto3 will disable compression automatically if it has to but i don't know how to confirm that this is actually happening.

Seems like that shouldn't be the case, but OK i'll try it. Our Qlogic rep states this adapter should be fully capable of 380MB/sec, full duplex, on both ports, simultaneously. best in industry And the T2000 is no slouch in the PCI-E department.

Have you tried the backup already? If so, what are the policy settings and how fast are your drives streaming? LTO3 is rated for 70MB/sec native..more if the data compresses well, so make sure your backup server has at least 1000Mbps network connection and same goes for the client. If your

We need more details too. I'm guessing this is probably 420KB/sec (like what you would see in the job detail) which is dismal. Even 4.2MB/sec is pretty bad. 42MB/sec would be OK, but I'd be guessing the bottleneck is the VM. It sounds like you are saying you have one of the tape drives

You may see better performance by connecting the tapes and CDL to different HBAs in different slots on separate busses. Yes, there's more than enough bandwidth, but the bus has to reverse direction to send/receive, so if you have your cards laid out so one bus is sending and the other receiving
