Can we have more information like:

type of library? Is it Fibre channel or SCSI. If SCSI what kind of Fibre to
SCSI bridge are you using? What kind of switch are
you using... Brocade..Gadzooks, Mcdata. What management software are you
using to configure the switch? HP Openview, Tivoli....

So many questions!


You need to be sure that the library is seen by the switch in any case.
