I have a customer that is planning on using an HSJ50 to connect a TL826 to their CI cluster so that the TL826 can be shared by both nodes in the cluster. I was wondering if they could connect three of the six TZ88s in the TL826 directly to each node with SCSI. Would this work? It would seem to be a faster and less expensive option. I also understand that the TL826 will be upgradable to DS-TL896 (TZ89). Wouldn't this need FW SCSI to reach its performance potential?

re: Splitting tape between nodes in a cluster. You can do it. The question to ask is whether the software you plan to use supports it. Assuming this was written after the notes about tapes on shared SCSI busses (bad, very bad), MRU and OpenVMS BACKUP shouldn't have any trouble with it. The OpenVMS layered products built around MDMS? That's a question you'll have to ask of the people who maintain it. re: Fast/Wide SCSI with DLT7000 family tape drives that we may or may not be calling the TZ89 depending on when an announcement might be, which is not say with certainty one way or the other whether there will be one... From what I've heard, yes. | |||||
