Notes:
1. For an encrypted format, an additional 5 seconds might be required to obtain a encryption key to read the first
block accessed on the cartridge.
2. For further information about the capacity of each type of 3592 tape cartridge, see Table 11 on page 27. For
further information about data types supported by the TS1140, TS1150, and TS1155 tape drives, see Table 9 on
page 21.
Library performance
The library performance values show the relative performance of the systems and
are not meant to be absolute indicators of performance in your specific
environment. Performance values, such as cartridge inventory times, mount
performance, and cartridge move time, are obtained for the TS4500 tape library
using specific measurements.
Performance values for the TS4500 tape library, whether measured on test systems
or modeled through simulations, are based on a fixed set of workload assumptions
to ensure accurate comparisons; however, the results are not evaluated in all
production environments.
