Hi all,

first of all,
aix 4.3.2.0
adsm 3.1 on NSM
magstar 3575 with 3 3570 c drive tapeunits. attached to 1 wide scsi
differential controller.
The adresses already in use by the units and the mediachanger are
20-60-00-0,1, 20-60-00-0,0, 20-60-00-1,0 and 20-60-00-2,0
(total package is reffered to by ibm as IBM 3466 Network Storage Manager)

I want to add another tapeunit to the library, In the server there is
another scsi adapter availeble.
My idea is to break the chain of the one adapter to the 3 tapeunits and hook
the third unit to the second scsi adapeter and chain it to the new
one.(still with me?)

Now i want to know if there are any known problems, issues to consider,
things to do in advance etc.
In other company's ive worked for hardware issues where always a big no, and
everything had to be done by an IBM engineer.

I hope someone can help me out.

Thnx,\
michelle
