Hello,
I am having lots of trouble with ADIC Tape lib working with Storage node 
server and MS.
Our confgiguration is as below.
One Master server attached to Adic i2K lib zoned to Brocade 3800 swithes at 
WWW level, tape robot is also assigned to the server host on this FA.
Storage node is also accessing the same tape lib zoned for two of the 8 
drives on the lib to the same FA on Adic.
Even though the sn server sees the drive in DM and inquire cmd is reporting 
the drives to be there, do this date i have not been able to use MT or 
native backup utility to werite to it.
In this senario i have overlaping zones to Adic lib, is Brocade zoning 
correct, should i have zoned all hosts and lib in one zone vs two seperate 
zones? What do you think is hapening, why the lTO-2 drives are inaccisble 
from SN server even thoughh they seems to be right there.
Zone
MS+Adic+Brocade--Zone1
SN+ADIC ( two drives)+Brocade--Zone2
Should this be like below.
MS+ADIC+SN+Brocade in Zone1.
Any one with Brocade knowledge with zoning please help.
Thanks
