pupton Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi all I have replaced our Quantum SL3 LTO3 tape library for a HP MSL2024 LTO library. Both SCSI. Last nights "Normal" backup ran very slowly 490MB/min compared to the usual 1000MB/min (approx). This obviously surprised me. I have continued to use the existing catalog file and simply skipped to a new LTO4 tape. Do we think this could be the problem? No changes have been made except a new library, same host, scripts and perhaps crucially, the same catalog file. The tapes are new of course. Any ideas? I have looked through the forum but turned up nothing. Regards Paul. 7.6.2 (latest) 2003 Server HP GL360 G5 Host HP MSL2024 1760 SCSI library/drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railes Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Go into Device Manager and make sure the Windows driver for the tape machine is disabled. I've seen this be the cause of a slowdown before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Any news on this? I have LTO3 today and am curious about LTO4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
