Re: 9406 515 vs 8203 E4A

If the library needed IOPs then it wouldnt work on any other system, like
system X or system P, but it does. A fiber drive is a fiber drive. The 3582
at work is gutted so i cant test it, but i have trouble believing one kind
of library works and the other doesnt. Even SCSI tape libraries are allowed
on p7 due to there being iopless card for it...

Correction, I originally misquoted our tape library model, it was 3582,
not 3583, with LTO 3 full height fiber attached drives that, we were told
would not work on Power7 because the library needed to see an IOP, with the
IOA behind it.

Paul,

The 3583 must have been SCSI attach? There are 3583 that are fibre
attached that work just fine.

Also had to replace LTO3 3583 tape library, not supported on Power7 and

beyond.
