Dear All,
I have an HP MSL5000 tape library with an internal FibreChannel-SCSI
router card which has two SCSI ports.
I have another tape library (an Overland Neo 2000 - which is exactly
the same as an MSL5000-series I believe) with no FibreChannel interface.
What I'd like to do is hang the Neo off one of the SCSI ports on the
MSL's FC-router, so that both libraries and all drives are visible on
my SAN.
Currently, one drive in the MSL is one one bus, and the other drive and
the library controller are on the other.
Would it really be as easy as re-connecting the both MSL drives and the
library to one bus, ad then patching the SCSI cable from the other
library into the second? Are the two SCSI busses on the FC Router
independent, or will I have to be careful about SCSI ID conflicts
between the two libraries?
Can anyone offer any tips/gotchas?
Many thanks,
Andrew
