    What kind of tape drive is in the SL48?
    If you are using 32-bit O/S, you can use the Veritas tape driver (on your install media or seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/287850.htm).
    If your O/S is 64-bit you will have to download the driver for the make/model tape drive in the library.
    Ask your SUN/STK supplier to explain different communication methods.
    SAN connectivity emulates SCSI, so my guess is it will be SCSI. API should be something like ACSLS Software, where the robot is connected to a separate server with its own software (ACSLS) to control the robot.
