Hello
I have new FC attached Drives on Adic i2000\IBM tape drives.
I am unable to get networker funtionality working, either loading 
drives\lable backups etc.
1. All known versions of IBM tape drives for windows 2003 64 bit were 
tried, none working.
2. This is Dell PE 6850 server, SP1 for W3k.
3. Qlogic QLE 2462 Drivers.
loading drives returns errors as , drive is good but status is unkwon.
 FC mapping have 8 drives with lun 0 for control path not being used by any 
other drives on any other HBA configured to use lun 0.
we removed all drives but one in ADic i2000 and did jbconfig
the wizard discoverd more then one drive, with first drive at \\.\Tape0 he 
wanted to configure addtional drives, when we only assigned one.
What are the recomendation in this senario, what troubleshooting we should 
do, how can we verify the connectivety on FC and between i2000.
Any one has seen something similar ?
Any suggestions, Any issues with drivers on 64 bit os and IBM\ADIC?
all help is welcome
Thanks
Shoulnt this output have tape manufacturers name in it <> ?
Why does FC drive order keep changing on rebooting server when persistant 
binding on FC cards is enabled.
