All,

Does anybody know if there is any way to setup tape drives (Magstar in
particular) for dynamic multi-pathing?  I have a customer who is
deploying 35 Magstar FC based drives in a SAN environment behind 2
Brocade 6400 switches.  There will be 6 RS6K 4.3.3 TSM servers sharing
the drives using tape library sharing.  Each host will have at least 2
FC cards for tape and 2 for the disk environment.  Multi-pathing the
disk subsystem is easy, but I have never heard of a way to set it up for
tape drives.
