Mhh, can you point me to a paper stating this?  I can't find any.
I can find the rule that a tape drive must be on a separate zone from the
disks.  But it can still be the same HBA in the host.

Well what it really boils down to is the following two things:

1) Do you really want to slow disk access for tape traffic
and
2) Is it a supported configuration. I've been told flat out by IBM that
it is NOT a supported configuration. So as much as I would like to give
my TSM server some space on the SAN, I don't have room for another HBA
(x335) and I'm not about to go unsupported for it.
