Can you tell me where you found out about this part?
 
.  Also, if you employ HP / Compaq Fiber Switches, you may wish to have all
tape devices configured to connect physically to the first 4 ports on the
switch.  This has to do with determining the order of discovery of the
devices.  
 
I am having problems with this and am wondering if this is my problem.

        Hi there;
        
        We have a Win2K Server with a 9740 and 4 x 9840's and 1 x 9840B
drive.  We have two of the 9840's attached to an SN3250 and the 9840B is
directly attached.  We have a "backup zone" on the FC which currently
contains the SN3250 and the 9840B and a designated storage node.  Also, if
you employ HP / Compaq Fiber Switches, you may wish to have all tape devices
configured to connect physically to the first 4 ports on the switch.  This
has to do with determining the order of discovery of the devices.  Keeping a
separate zone will keep down the SCSI bus resets which may occur if you have
only one zone and all your servers can see the fiber devices.
        
        That's how I understand it...  :)

        Bruno, can you expound on this a bit more?  I'm the NetWorker expert
at
        our site, but I can't say I'm a SAN expert yet.  We're looking to
hook our
        SCSI-based STK9710 library with SDLT drives into one of our two
fabrics
        using a pair of STK SN3250 FC<->SCSI routers.  For the forseeable
future,
        the only thing that would be in that zone would be the host's HBA
        and the two SN3250s.
        
        I had been planning on using the QLogic 2300 HBA in the Linux box
that
        will be our new NetWorker server.
