Hi Flak, I use mtx all the time with my Quantum PX502 Autochanger (LTO-3, FC, One Drive) on RHEL 4 AS (32-bit). The only gotcha is that FC AL does not work with the autochanger, and I was forced to use FC Point-to-Point.
If you are doing FC Point-to-Point you need to have an FC switch or a multi-port FC HBA. My FC HBA only has one port. I was lucky enough to have extra ports on my FC switch. I used these three extra ports on the FC switch to make the connection between my HBA, the autochanger robotics, and the one drive. I hope that helps.
