I have never seen an explanation just the statement.

        The SAN Data Gateway does not support the LTO.  According to IBM
you
        need the SAN Data Router.

        I have experience with McData (rather than Brocade) SAN
equipment,
but
        my
        first guess would be a ZONING issue within the SAN software on
the
        Brocade
        switch.  Our 2108's know nothing about what kind of equipment
our
SAN
        has.
        In fact, our 2108's, our IBM Shark, and all of the individual
Fibre
        Channel
        clients are all completely unaware of the McData equipment in
the
        middle.
        All they see is the SCSI equipment at the other end (in their
zone).
        Some
        servers see disk (from the Shark), some see tape drives (from
our
LTO
        library), and our TSM server sees both.

        Thank you,

        Hi

        We have a SAN Data Gateway 2108-G07 installed.
        An AIX server is connected through a brocade SAN switch to the
SAN
Data
        Gateway. Connected to this Gateway are 4 LTO devices.
        We seem to have installed the 2108-G07 ok , but nevertheless the
LTO
        drives
        can not be "seen" from the AIX server !!!!!!?
        any ideas ??????

        Does this brocade switch needs to be identified on the SAN Data
Gateway
        (via
        StorWatch - SAN Data Gateway Specialist software) and the AIX
server
as
        well ???
        any additional comments ??

        thanks in advance
