Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up a SAN using two IBM 2109-S16 FC Switch, six TSM Servers
and a 3494 with 10 3590E drives

Four TSM Servers are running smooth (1 M80, 2 Dell with FC Qlogic 2200, 1
SUN450 with FC Qlogic 2200). All of then are PCI Servers.
I have two other servers (E3500 and a E10000) that are SBUS Servers.

Acording to Tivoli web site, all FC Adapters supported in this configuration
are PCI ! ! ! Both SBUS Servers have an JNI FC64-1063 FC Adapter which is
simillar do JNI FCI-1063 (the PCI Version which is supported)... The FC
adapter establishes link to the 2109-S16 (steady green light) but it doesn't
find any tape devices...

Is anyone  using these kind of FC adapters with SAN ? Is there any special
firware or device driver that should be installed in these sun boxes in
order to put these cards to work ? I updated the switch's firmware do level
2.2.1a but I had no luck... The IBM 2109-S16 is simillar to a Brocade Switch
which is used by EMC... These FC64-1063 adapter is the one that is used by
most of the SBUS Servers... EMC guys, any tips ?!

Thanks you all !
