Shorten wait time of LEADM/EEADM Operation while LTO-9 Optimization

Software: Storage Archive LE/EE


Condition: when user run format new LTO-9 media, this kicks LTO-9 media optimization, and user use IE slot to import media to Library while optimization.


Problem: User must wait LEADM/EEADM operation, such as "show tape list" very long time. A customer is waiting LEADM operation for 20-60 mins at LTO-9 media format(this kicks optimization), and he is very inconvenienced with this behavior.


Request:

Could development team shorten this wait time while LTO-9 optimization? Objective is 30sec or less.

Impact:

No improvement about this, we'll loss large Storage Archive broadcasting company customer in Japan. This can lead to loss of tape H/W business.
