Not supported...?!?!?  Ours works great!

We use this to connect our LTO drives to our SAN:
IBM 2108-R03 SAN Data Gateway Routers (3)
IBM 3584 LTO Ultrium Ultra-Scalable Tape Library (1 library w/5 SCSI drives)
McData ED-5000 Director Class Fibre Channel Switch (1)

All we had to do is create an "LTO Zone" on the switch.  The only things in
that zone are the three SAN Data Gateway Routers and three of the four Fibre
Channel Adapters on our TSM server (RS/6000 H80).   The other FCA in the TSM
server goes to the ED-5000, but it's outside the "LTO Zone".  Instead of
seeing the LTO drives, it sees our Shark...

Thank you,

The SAN Data Gateway does not support the LTO.  According to IBM you
need the SAN Data Router.
