The 3494 works with TSM, Legato, and NetBackup. I think ArcServe works also. B1A drives are not SAN Ready. I think you have to convert them to E1A to get the FC upgrade feature, but I am not sure on that. The FC upgrade feature is about 7K. You can look up the feature upgrade preqrequsits on WWW.IBMLINK.IBM.COM. You may also be able to use a SAN Data Gateway, though some customers have trouble getting them implemented. The issue is you have to use exactly what IBM SAN Central says to use.

I have 3494 TL with 4 3590B1A drives. Is it SAN ready? Can I able to connect this tape drives (3590B1A) on the IBM SAN? Or i need to upgrade the drive to 3590E1A to provide SAN Connectivity. Is this library exclusive use only for ADSM/TSM software? thanks in advance, Zosi Noriega ADNOC-UAE
