EMC VisualSAN Version 4.1 Support Matrix
31
Other Devices
Other Devices
Table 18 lists support requirements for other devices such as
gateways, routers, tape drives, and JBODs.
VisualSAN will discover any standard SCSI and FC tape drives,
changers and libraries in-band through the SNIA Host Agent, if they
are configured on host system. VisualSAN displays all tape devices
and tape libraries as separate devices.
For example, the Dell PV130 tape library with two tape drives will be
presented separately as one tape changer device and two tape devices
connected to the SCSI-FC router or host. If a tape library is
fibre-channel-connected, VisualSAN discovers all tape changer or
loader and tape drive components along with the SCSI-FC
router/bridge which is also a subcomponent library.
All internal SCSI connections appear in the Devices and Topology
Map views. All tape library components can be manually grouped
within the Devices rollup and on the Topology Map after discovery.
Properties of the tape drives include manufacturer, model, and serial
number.
