IBM LTO Fibre Channel Tape Drive Rewinding In A Loop
We have a number of IBM LTO fibre channel tape drives in a StorageTek L700
library. A manual tape insertion to the drive(s) works fine, and the drive shows status as Loaded. The instant we connect the drive to a Brocade full-fabric 2250 fibre channel switch, the drive shows status as rewinding, followed by Loaded, then rewinding, then Loaded, in an infinite loop. What would cause this event? I assume this is a problem with a Brocade switch setting? What would need to be reconfigured? The tape drive is an FC-AL device, but StorageTek insists that Brocade can publish this device as a public device to the SAN. -- Will westes AT earthbroadcast.com |
