JNI FC Drivers for Tape and Disk

2007-12-25 11:50:00

The original question is whether it is possible to have JNI configurations

in a mixed topology (fcaw.conf configuration that handles both fabric and

point-to-point). The idea is to have a disk subsystem attach to a server

point-to-point AND a tape-area-network is attached via fabric. Many of you

thought this is not possible and some have thoughts. An actual check with

JNI confirms that indeed it is possible with a suggestion that the EzFibre

utility is the best way to do this...
