I have a DLT7000 with 7 tape autoloader. Operation works reasonably well except for speed. ANY network resource that gets backed up is only operating at around 20mb per min. THis is just too slow for the amount of data I have to deal with (> 100gb). I have implemented the Veritas recommendation of reducing the scsi bus speed down to 20mb/s (from 40 default) with no change.
Obvious things like network traffic etc have already been evaluated. Speed is constant at around 20mb/s regardless of network activity.
Any ideas on how to increase the speed? We are using the hardware compression option. NT4 Server is well spec'd and up to the task.
Any input appreciated.
Tks
