Hello everyone!

I was just wondering if it is necessary to have 2 interfaces per drive?
The setup is a Tape Area Network of 24 drives, which haven't been chosen
yet, attached to 2 McData 6064 directors which are then attached to the TSM
server and the LAN-free client servers.  Any experiences/suggestions on
this matter would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Also, does everyone create an environment with total redundancy and no
single point of failure, such as the library, a single robotic arm, single
connection to the drives, etc. or do you trust the hardware technology?
Thanks again in advance!
