Hi,
We are setting up a new stand-alone Tivoli Storage Manager Server (2x HBA QLE2560 Single Port 8 Gbps) for use with 2 tape libraries (Quantum Scalar I500), 5 LTO5 tape drives each one. Two SAN Brocade switches (no ISL - dual switch topology).
Should we use small zones consisting of just Server's WWPN and each Tape Drive's WWPN or we should use zones consisting of Server's WWPN and all the Tape Drive's WWPN? Are there other options available?
What is the difference in terms of performance, security etc?
Should we map five Tape Drives per HBA?
