Tom: I think that we have reached the point where you might want to talk directly to some vendors to get some help with the configuration. You should be able...

We are using a similar setup. We have a L700E with IBM LTO-1 drives that are FC-AL. They are connected to a McData 24 port switch that presents them to the...

We have worked this problem with EMC, McData, Sun, and HP on this issue. Since the HP HBAs don't support persistant binding, there is little that HP can do. ...

In my opinion, it has something to do with the way that the McData 24 port switch handles the FC-AL to FC-FC conversion, possibly as a result of the FC loop id...
George, I don't think any of the vendors support your configuration. Didn't they tell you NOT to share an HBA with the tape drive and disk? Our EMC team has...

Excuse me. I didn't catch that. EMC will not support both tape and disk traffic on the same HBA on a UNIX server (maybe any server). If you call them with a...
