Is it still the rule-of-thumb to NOT combine disk access and tape access
across the same FC adapter? I have a client that doesn't want to purchase a
separate adapter for the SAN tape backups to keep it off the adapter(s) for
the FasT700 disk data.

I have a couple year old white-paper from IBM saying that data corruption
may occur if you mix the two, but has that changed with the advances in
Fibre?
