According to the SAN compatibility guide there is a hot fix available for
6.1.1 which will allow support for my FC HBA (IBM 6228).

It says that only only IBM 3584 and 3583 Tape Libraries are supported with
this card.   I have an Adic Scalar 100 with DLT8000 devices.  I dont plan to
use the robot from this Client, just the drives.
