I'm using 6 3570's in a magstar 3575 with the following addresses on two
adapters:

rmt1  10-68-00-3,0
rmt2  10-68-00-4,0
rmt3  10-68-00-5,0
rmt4  20-60-00-0,0
rmt5  20-60-00-1,0
rmt6  20-60-00-2,0

I set up these with no problems and looked up the device address on 3575
library on IBM website.

Hi all,

first of all,
aix 4.3.2.0
adsm 3.1 on NSM
magstar 3575 with 3 3570 c drive tapeunits. attached to 1 wide scsi
differential controller.
The adresses already in use by the units and the mediachanger are
20-60-00-0,1, 20-60-00-0,0, 20-60-00-1,0 and 20-60-00-2,0
(total package is reffered to by ibm as IBM 3466 Network Storage Manager)

I want to add another tapeunit to the library, In the server there is
another scsi adapter availeble.
My idea is to break the chain of the one adapter to the 3 tapeunits and
hook
the third unit to the second scsi adapeter and chain it to the new
one.(still with me?)

Now i want to know if there are any known problems, issues to consider,
things to do in advance etc.
In other company's ive worked for hardware issues where always a big no,
and
everything had to be done by an IBM engineer.

I hope someone can help me out.

Thnx,\
michelle
