Joshua,

                They work fine coexisting.  Just upgrade them as needed.  I
remade the devices on the OS and in ADSM, but I am not sure if it is
required.

        Subject:        FC Device Driver on AIX

        All,

        I know the AIX TSM SCSI and Fibre Channel device drivers
        cannot coexist on the same server.  Here is my question,
        if I have both 3590 SCSI attached (which I don't believe
        uses the TSM SCSI driver), STK DLT SCSI based drives
        (which does use the SCSI driver) and I am now installing
        3590 drives on a Fibre Channel SAN (which requires the
        FC driver) how does this all work?

        If I uninstall the SCSI driver and install the FC driver
        will my DLT drives still be usable?  If not should I use
        the TSM SCSI driver only?
