Optimize tape library performance

Optimize the performance of your tape library by using work management and load balancing techniques. You can also attempt to improve the performance by using different connection configurations.

Note: If you attach a library containing high speed tape drive resources (such as 3590, 358x) to a 6501 or 6534 I/O processor, you should not attach any other high speed tape drive resources to I/O processors on the same bus, or performance will be impacted.

For more detailed information about performance, see the Resource Library section of the Performance Management Web site.
