Martin,

I actually tried setting this up just last week. No it is not supported and
no it doesn't work.
The drives are recognized by ADSM but as soon as you do a label libv or any
other tape operation it fails.

I believe that Compaq and IBm are working together to get the TL895 w/ FC-AL
adapter supported under ADSM, but I don't know how long this will be.

FYI the TL895 works fine with ADSM in it's basic SCSI configuration,
althought you might have some trouble with the Proliant connectivity kit
that comes with it for SCSI attachment. Make sure that the Compaq SCSI
drivers are up to date, otherwise you might have some throughput issues.

Contact me directly if you need more info.

Nathan

        Hi,

        Does anybody know weather our configuration is supportet with ADSM

        Compaq - Library TS895 ( 5 drives with dlt7000 ) with FC-AL to SCSI
        fibre channel
        tape controller from Compaq.

        Host Proliant 6500 with PCI - Fibre channel controller both
connected to
        the same Fibre Channel HUB

        Tape Library is recognized to WinNT 4.0 Sp4 as a SCSI - Tape
Library.
        All controllers are from original Compaq - Controllers.

        Compaq supports officiallly Seagate Backup exec & Arcserve.

        Please contact me via Email, I will summarize the thread.

        Thanks in advance,

        Martin
