Hello!

Well, that is, because HP-cards do not do a "fabric login" yet (correct me 
if I'm wrong). They cannot work on a switched SAN (fabroc) without 
workarounds. What you need to do is to set up a quick loop on the Brocade 
4116 switch, which tells the switch to fool the card that it is on the same 
Arbitrated Loop as the tape drives, althoug it is not. As of the rest, 
NetBackup will recognize the tapes as soon as you get them to work with 
your hosts.
