MSL3040 with Netbackup appliance 5250 using SAS

[Santha1012]

All,

Planning replace MSL4048 (FC) with MSL 3040 (SAS) using Netabckup appliance 5250 with SAS. Any cavet to watch out? Our current FC we get 8Gb/s and hoping to get 12Gb/s with new SAS, correct?

Thanks

Hello @Santha1012,

In MSL 3040, I think disk write performance is 8gb/s FC, and 6gb/s SAS.

Hello @Santha1012,

Yes. It is 12gb/s SAS in LTO 9 Ultrium 45000. Here is the right document link for you - https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00026511enw.pdf?jumpid=in_pdp-psnow-qs
