HP StorageWorks Autoloader 1/8 LTO3

[Lee Cave]

Thanks,

I without checking the terminator light I think you have cracked the problem. If the SCSI card is only 40mbps anyway I am going to buy a new one and do away with the only one. Can you recommend a suitable SCSI controller to purchase?

Thanks,

Lee.

These are the two HP HBA's recommended for use with the LTO3 drives:

268351-B21 Ultra320, LVD, Dual Channel, VHDCI
374654-B21 Ultra320, LVD, Single Channel, VHDCI

For 3rd party HBA's the Adaptec and LSI Ultra 320 HBA's are the most common.

Ok Thanks,

Is this one ok?...

That one should work great. That is an Adaptec 39320. Only the 29320 is specifically listed in the compatibility matrix at www.hp.com/go/ebs but the 39320 is simply the dual port version of the 29320.

I have old server ML350G3. I've read that it supports 268351-B21 Ultra320, LVD, Dual Channel, VHDCI

What about compatibility with [AH165A] HP 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader (based on Ultrium 920 Ultra320 LVD SCSI ) ?

I'm asking, because this Autoloader is not listed on compatibility list of ML350G3 tape drives:http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11430_div/11430_div.HTML#Options

There is only older version, not G2. Will this device AH165A talk to 268351-B21 Ultra320, LVD, Dual Channel, VHDCI properly under Windows 2003 R2 (x86) ??? Regards
