I have encountered issues that sound similar. The solution was to have all disk in one zone, have all tape in another zone, and a separate HBA port to each zone.
The requirement of separate FC fabrics for disk and tape is documented in the SAN WWWW at: http://mysales.central/public/storage/products/matrix.html Sumit Gupta wrote: > If you are seeing the devices through the HBA (The LSI arrays) then > you should be able to see the tape drives as well.
