Re: LTO5 to 8203-E4A

According to the manual for your machine 6.1 at a certain ptf level will
recognize the card.

If the above is too long try
https://www-50.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss
Start by searching for 2350 in Storage model. That will limit a bunch
Then select from the remaining Host Platforms
Then select from the Operating system

That help?

I'm thinking about connecting an IBM 3580 S53 external LTO5 SAS drive

to a 8203-E4A, but I'm lost in IBMs website tangle. No VIOS, plain IBM i
7.2.

FC #5901. Hasta go inta da CEC unless you have 12X I/O loops, then

anywhere in there.

Thanksalot! Machine only has CEC, nothing else.

You think the drive will be recognized by IBM i?

:wq! PoC
