Experts, I'm getting soon this libr with 8 fibre LTO2 drives. IBM says that from patch panel, back of libr, to SAN switches will be 1 to 1 ratio as far as fibre connection. Meaning I will need 8 ports on SAN switch for this drives. Fine, I can give 4 on one of redundant switch and 4 to another one. Now, 2 TSM servers have to be zoned with these drives and also, any host with LAN-free has be in the same zone in order to see all available drives.
Still I'm not convinced about this config, thinking there must be a better way to do this. For example, cascading to a managed hub then connect to LTO drives. Anyone working with multipath failover config? Thanks again for your expertise !! Jin Bae Chi (Gus) System Admin/Tivoli Data Center, CSCC 614-287-5270 614-287-5488 Fax [EMAIL PROTECTED]
