You mean the drives are all fibre connected and the library is connected
through the single Ethernet connection, right?
No, data is sent over the fibre channel connections. The Ethernet
connection is only used for tape mounts/dismounts, communication with
the library manager, and things of that nature.

Subject: H80 - TSM - 3494 ---> Bottleneck?
We are in the process of getting a new TSM server and library. I was
thinking
about how the hardware connects up to the 3494 and drives. I the drives are
fiber connected to the rs6000 and the 3494 is scsi connected. This is what
my
question is: Do all the clients go through the single ethernet on the 6000
to
get to the 3494 drives?? If so, is this a potential bottleneck and has
anyone
had any issues with this setup?? About how many clients are connected??
