Not all STK Libraries require acsls, but the powderhorn does. We have 2
powderhorns in a SAN using STK 16 port switches (brocade), 10 9840FC Drives
and a Dell 6450 Win2k Cluster running TSM 4.1.2. We use STK Libattach
software to make up the communications between TSM and ACSLS.

We are using the STK Powderhorn with 9840 drives in a TSM 3.7 (AIX)
environment and TSM4.1 (OS/390) environment. We will soon be implementing
some fiber drives also to a new TSM (AIX) server. Whenever you use the STK
libraries, you are forced to use the ACSLS software also. We do have a tape
SAN implemented.

Sorry if this is an FAQ, I've spent a bit of time looking but haven't found
a definitive answer.
Is this possible:
TSM 3.7.x on Solaris
connected to
SAN switch (don't know what model, but assume it's a supported one)
connected to
StorageTek PowderHorn (9840 drives, ACSLS controlled)
>From a quick look at the Redbook (Using Tivoli Storage Manager in a SAN
environment), SCSI libraries are supported from TSM 3.7 onwards, but I can't
find any mention of ACSLS.
Has anyone done it? Tried it and failed?
This is the configuration I am expected to implement, and I don't have much
experience of SANs, so any hand-holding would be appreciated.
