Is anyone using redundant tape SAN with TSM on AIX?
Andy Huebner
We utilize a redundant tape SAN at our main data centers with multiple host
site HBA ports. Using the Atape control and data path fail-over options we have
twelve device entries for each physical tape device. Works really well and this
is in an AIX/LPAR/VIO environment, we've virtualized

Andy,
What do you mean by redundant tape san? Multiple tape libraries at
the same or remote location? Tape drives with more than one fiber port?

Dual-ported drives such as the 3592 can be connected to both fabrics.
Single ported drives such as lto4 can be connected only to one fabric but you
