Re: TS3100 fibre attach tape on a 9406-525?

I remember kludging together a v5r2 system with 1.5Tb of ASP and SCSI LTO4
drives. The drives did report as generic *TAPE IIRC, it's been a couple of
years. But the point is that somehow it was able to write to a generic
*TAPE device instead of the 3580 that it should have been....

Nope, V5R4 only supports LTO4, the limit is in the OS not the fibre card.

It might work for a while but at some point it will stop working.

We have a TS3100 fibre attach tape library system we want to put on an
AS400 (9406-525) for backup redundancy.

Currently they have a SCSI attach TS3100 tape library system.

Seems like our card option would be a 5704 which seems to be the only
fibre card option on the 525 series.

This red book is old and it only goes up to LTO4.

The fibre TS3100 drive is LTO5. Anyone put an LTO5 on a 525?
