ISCSI / SCSI is not supported

Fibre can be used for tape only - the library can be connected via a switch and zoned or just plugged straight into the fibre ports of the appliance

Note that if you also use FT (Fibre transport) that you cannot use the FT ports to connect the library

Also, if zoining it via a switch it is best not to zone it to the same ports as any VMware volumes are mapped to - best to keep tape and disk on seperate ports

Hope this helps
