• Will your site be willing to participate in the joint tape test?
  • For multi-VO site , for which VOs then?

- Probably no. We support now only ALICE VO and currently our tape is fully occupied. And the tape will no longer be used for ALICE VO since we are going to replace it with disk-based archival storage.

• What is the maximum available tape throughput of the site?

- 2GB/s

• Number of tape drives and drive types

- 8 drives and 799 cartridges

• Does the site have hard-partition between read and write?

• For multi-VOs, does the site have hard-partition between VOs?

• How the tape drives are allocated among VOs and for write and read?

• Tape disk buffer size
  • For read
  • For write

- 600TB

• Any other info the site finds relevant ans wants to share. For example ,how much of the tape infrastructure is shared between experiments, what is the impact of other communities, etc.

- Our share is only for ALICE VO.
