E Optional Fibre Channel Card
The optional Fibre Channel card enables connectivity between MSL Series tape libraries and Fibre
Channel based Storage Area Networks (SANs). This allows the libraries to be attached to a
Switched Fabric.
This appendix includes the following sections:
• Host Prerequisites, page 167
• Connectors and Indicators, page 168
• Configuration, page 169
Host Prerequisites
To use Fibre Channel, check the host for the following:
• Fibre Channel backup software, host interface adapters, and associated device drivers.
• Host that acts as an initiator using the Fibre Channel controller to communicate with Fibre
Channel SCSI target devices.
• Backup application software with robust error recovery. Fibre Channel is an open system, similar
to LAN. Consequently, Fibre Channel is subject to data flow interruptions from power cycling,
connections, disconnections, and ESD charges.
NOTE: For a complete list of prerequisites and supported configurations, contact your HP sales
representative.
