3583 Question

[murby56717]

Is anyone out there using a 3583 LTO with LVD. We are thinking of upgrading to 3584 but I was curious what solutions are available.
Currently we only have two P660 sharing a scsi attatched LVD LTO drive.We use sysback and tapeutil commands to control the library with only one machine controlling the picker. If we go to a 3584 is there a virtual drive or how could we implement this.
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

Hello,
why are you asking this question. If you are going to buy IBM 3584 tape library then you can get answer from IBM. If you go to IBM's storage hardware website then you will find documentation on 3584 tape library.

To get others who are using the technology ideas and information. Thats why they call it a newsgroup.

The redbooks are great but to truly get an idea of what a product is like you must have hands one experience. Thats why I posted this question. IBM is not going to say yes it a great product but... I mean come on

We're out here running 3583, and are also thinking of upgrading to 3584, but more for capacity than anything else. The 3583 has been doing just fine though.
