Good morning all:
I was ask a question last night:
Can you boot a server from a fibre tape drive? I tried this on an S80
with a 3494 fibre drive and the system didn't see the device.
So now I ask the you has anyone done this or can it be done? If so
what are the step needed to do this.
As always I look forward to the replies and thank you in advance.
Vince
