You can definitely use the Scalar 10K with NBU without using Scalar DLC.  The 
library control is SCSI, so the robot should be connected to one of the SNCs 
that your tape drives are connected to (unless you've got direct-fibre LTO-2s). 
 If the drives are direct-fibre, there should be an SNC to allow the robotic 
control to attach to the SAN.  So, yes there does have to be something between 
the library and the SAN.  ADIC Professional Services will install the SAN 
connectivity for the library.

Don't forget to create the ovpass driver to allow AIX to talk to the library.

Hello,

Does anyone use this library with NBU without an SDLC in a Fiber 
environment?  I am being told that somewhere in the library - either the 
drives or the robot needs arbitrated loop so there needs to be some sort of 
adaptor or bridge in between it and the Fiber switch.   This is in an AIX 
environment if that makes a difference?

Thanks
Jennifer
