My business partner told me that this interface card could NOT connect directly to the TS3100 or TS3200 tape library.
It has to connect through a fibre switch.
So it isn't a "shop" standard, it is a hardware limitation... So I've been told.
What is interesting though is that when this Power7 was located here at the home office it connected just fine to a TS3200 Tape Library through this switch:
HP Storageworks SAN Switch 4/21
Series: HSTNM-N002
PN: A7537A
The interface card on the Power7 connects just fine when connected to the Brocade 6505 switch.

However, it is connecting at 8Gbps and the TS3100 interface card is a 4Gbps card. Could this be part of the problem?
