chuckfee Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 I've been reading the forums and I'm trying to figure out if there is any advantage in using ASPI vs. NT Passthrough. Right now we have an ADIC Scalar 100 LTO library. It is connected to a Windows 2000 SP4 computer via an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card. The scalar 100 supports up to 6 lto drives. We have 3 of them available. Retrospect works great when the system is configured with a single drive. When more than one drive is hooked up retrospect will work for a while but then eventually the system gets some SCSI errors and the tape drive dies. I've tried swapping drives, cables, etc. to no avail. Using the library with a single drive seems to be the only reliable fix. This is less than optimal since we'd like to make full usage of this beast. Our system is set up for NT passthrough. I'm reading some stuff that suggests there is also an ASPI layer option. Is one preferable to the other? Should I try running this stuff over ASPI? is that likely to change anything? Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks. --chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi I think it is worth a shot. Some people have much better performance with ASPI. You can uninstall it easily if it turns out you want to go back to NT passthrough. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
