Yes, you need to zone tape drives to the machine running Storage Manager.
Multiple tape drives can use the same HBA.

Tape and Disk cannot coincide on the same HBA. You need a separate adapters
for disk and tape. This stems from the days of S360 (and earlier?) where
there were seperate channels for streaming channels (tape) and block
channels (disk). Guess this dates me...

I am trying to implement a LAN FREE backup, and my question on the
Storage Agent/Client, do I need to create a zone from one of my HBA to
the Fiber Channel Tape drives? And if I can share the HBA with disk and
tape?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rubie
