Sorry for the late summary:
Thanks to all those that responded. I also contacted HP support on this. I
apparantly have to do (at boot prompt)
>>>init
>>>set mode diag
>>>wwidmgr -set adapter -item 9999 -topo [fabric|loop]
>>>wwidmgr -show adapter
>>>init
fabric for SAN switch and loop for hubs. Others also pointed out that the
adapters have to be in the same zone as the tape drives. I will be doing
this during our next shutdown.
