Fibre Channel Tape Connections
To configure tape drives that are connected to the system through an FCSA follow these rules:
• If a Fibre Channel tape drive is connected directly to an FCSA, you must specify the PORTNAME
and LUN of the tape drive.
• You can use a 9800FC Fibre Channel converter to connect a Fibre Channel tape drive to a
NonStop S-series server. You add the converter to the storage subsystem as an Open SCSI
device. For details, see the 9800FC Fibre Channel Converter Installation and User’s Guide.
• If a SCSI tape drive is connected to an FCSA through an M8201 SCSI to Fibre Channel router,
you must specify the PORTNAME and LUN associated with the M8201 port to which the tape
drive is connected. For details, see the M8201 Fibre Channel to SCSI Router Installation and
User’s Guide.
