I asked about L25 tape library in a SunFire Cluster.
I had assumed the library could be dual-hosted just like a DiskPack.
Thanks to Joe_fletcher who sent me a note explaining that Tape drives are
different.
Clustering a tape drive can't be done with Solaris 8.

What I'll do is connect the libary to one host,
and the fallback will be to use the front panel to manipulate tapes.

Now I just need to address labeling....see next post.
