First, our architecture is 100% FC with the exception of the library 
robotics.  Each backup server and storage node is zoned in the SAN to see 
only the drives that we want them to.  The DDS drive is zoned to both of 
the systems we want it to float between.  This should work with SCSI 
libraries as well as long as everything is close enough to the library of 
course.

After the zoning was completed and verified, everything was setup with 
jbconfig.  First on the NW server, then each storage node.  We did the DDS 
drive last after testing each system/drive combination along the way.  The 
verification was done to ensure what we thought was /dev/rmt/ubn1 really 
was /dev/rmt/ubn1 and so on.  It's been almost 2 years since we set it up, 
so I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact jbconfig process.  I can dig up the 
documentation or check with my co-worker if anyone would like additional 
detail.
