We are attempting to set up TSM server running under mainframe Linux, using 3590 tape drives. We have never been able to get Linux to report the existence of the tape drives in /proc/scsi/scsi. The SAN switch is reporting that the tape drives are using the arbitrated loop topology. The manuals shipped with the drives indicate that arbitrated loop is the default topology. Do we or our field engineers need to do something to reconfigure the drives for the switched fabric topology?
