Also consider that you need to read data first from your datastore

(disk). But a single spinning disk is unable to deliver data at this
|
||||||
|
rate. We meassured a maximum rate about 100MB/s in practive, so it
|
||||||
|
takes 33 hours to read 12TB to fill up a LTO8 tape. So if you want to
|
||||||
|
run your tape at full speed, please make sure that the source
|
||||||
|
datastore is able to delive that performance (use SSDs).

Tape changers
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tape changers (robots) are part of a `Tape Library`_. You can skip
|
||||||
|
this step if you are using a standalone drive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Linux is able to auto detect those devices, and you can get a list
|
||||||
|
of available devices using:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-tape changer scan
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to use that device with Proxmox, you need to create a
|
||||||
|
configuration entry:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-tape changer create sl3 --path /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-CJ0JBE0059
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Where ``sl3`` is an arbitrary name you can choose.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. Note:: Please use stable device names from inside
|
||||||
|
``/dev/tape/by-id/``. Names like ``/dev/sg0`` may point to a
|
||||||
|
different device after reboot, and that is not what you want.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can show the final configuration with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-tape changer list
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Vendor, Model and Serial number are auto detected, but only shown
|
||||||
|
if the device is online.
