The documents say you are supposed to NOT have SAN and tape devices running on the same HBAs.
Mhh, can you point me to a paper stating this? I can't find any. I can find the rule that a tape drive must be on a separate zone from the disks. But it can still be the same HBA in the host.

Well what it really boils down to is the following two things:
1) Do you really want to slow disk access for tape traffic and 2) Is it a supported configuration. I've been told flat out by IBM that it is NOT a supported configuration. So as much as I would like to give my TSM server some space on the SAN, I don't have room for another HBA (x335) and I'm not about to go unsupported for it.
