I am having major performance problems with my Ultrium 448.
I am backing up .tiff images but they are backing up at 126MB/min. Backing up 63GB worth of images took just under 8 hours!
I am running it through an adaptec SCSI Card 39160-Ultra160 SCSI.
Please could someone give me some advice regarding a solution to this problem as I am a bit of a novice with this technology.
Many thanks in advance
Neil

Re: Painfully slow performance on HP Ultium 448
I am back online now and trying to improve drive performance ASAP.
The support ticket is below. It says that I have 8 devices connected on the SCSI, but I believe that I only have two hardrives, and a DVD device connected.
Further information which may or may not be relevant is that both hard drives and the Ultrium 448 are connected to channel B. Would this influence the poor performance?
Please let me know if there is any other information required.
Many thanks in advance for your help
Neil

Re: Painfully slow performance on HP Ultium 448
1. There is 2 Hard disk drives daisy chain with the drive. LTO should be alone on the bus.
2. There is a lot of Test unit ready commands

If you use Veritas software take a look at that document. If you do not upgrade LTO driver to 1.0.5.2 then take a look at that document.

Re: Painfully slow performance on HP Ultium 448
As you say it appears the the performance issues I have are due to the tape drive sharing a HBA with the two harddrives of my PC.
How would you suggest the best way to get over this? Both hard drives are essential on my PC, so should I purchase another relatively cheap PC to run the HBA and tape drive exclusively?
Many thanks in advance
