Geoff-  Just catching up on postings.

I've run this config (scsi and fibre) on my 3590's in the 3494   ....
works fine.   Couple of notes re the fibre side:

1.  You must de-install the Tivoli scsi driver and reinstall the scsi-fcp
driver
2.  Make sure you are recent on Atape.driver and atldd.driver -  I'm at
Atape 6.1.9.0 and atldd 5.0.7
3.  Make sure drive microcode is up to date - mine are E304

Regards,
Al Barth

Does anyone run their 3494 with a combination of scsi and fiber drives? If
so do you see any issues with this? Tivoli tells me there are no issues. I
have 4 SCSI and 2 newly installed fiber drives. I see there are times TSM
reports a dismount failure, always on only those 2 drives. Sometimes the
tape is still in the drive, yet TSM does not make the drive unavailable.
The
mounts seem to take much longer to accomplish on the fiber drives.
Sometimes
processes kick off and have mounts reserved waiting for the completion of
mounting the tape but it just doesn't happen.

Like this one, still waiting........and it's the only thing happening.
ANR8379I Mount point in device class 3590CLASS is waiting for the volume
mount to complete, status: WAITING FOR VOLUME.
