Connect FC Tape Library to FI6248

[t-asteris]

Hi,

I was wondering whether is possible to connect a tape library using FC directly to an FI 6248 in FC Siwtch mode.

Thanks

Although technically it will work, it is most likely not supported/tested, not even recommended

Hi wdey,

But the hardware compatibility matrix includes a number of FC Tape libraries. So my guess is at least the devices which are included in the compatibility matrix should be able to be connected directly to the FI.

Thanks

Table 8 lists the tape library models that are supported with this version of the Unified Computing System.

Note

Direct connect of tape libraries is not supported.
