Thanks all,

It appears that the tz89 and for that matter all tape drives are not
supported
in a HSG80. I have decided to locally attach this tape drive with a local
SCSI adapter.

Some reported success at using a Fibre to SCSI adapter. Something called a
Modular Data Router II or a Network Storage Router.

My original message:
===================================================
Greetings all,

I am trying to add a TZ89 SBB tape drive to our fibre fabric SAN. I have
done all the usuall stuff:
I am using selective storage presentation and do not have the switched ports
zoned.
Disks show up fine.

Anyone have any experience using a TZ89 in a HSG80?

Here's my config.

HSG804_BOT> run config

Config Local Program Invoked

Config is building its tables and determining what devices exist
on the subsystem. Please be patient.

add passthrough TAPE21100 2 11 0

Config - Normal Termination
HSG804_BOT> add unit p1 tape21100
HSG804_BOT> set p1 id=402
HSG804_BOT> sho p1
