Hi Gus, Last time I checked this out, the emulex drivers (IBM Fibre HBAs are Emulex 9000s) did support IP over fibrechannel, but the IBM drivers supplied with AIX didn't.
My AIX 5.1 system currently has no smit options which relate to IP on fibrechannel, so I assume that its still not supported by IBM. We have the same problem - we bought a thumpin' p690 and three IO drawers, but despite there being 20 slots per drawer, only 10 of those can be high speed, ie gigabit ethernet or fibrechannel.

Could you share a little bit more about how to use IP through HBA to connect to TSM server? This is new to me because I desinged to have separate ethernet cards for IP connection and multiple HBA for redundancy plus HACMP settings, so actually I'm running out of slots.... Thanks.

Fibre HBA can use IP to link to the TSM server via a standard IP address...
