Re: MSL2024 direct connect to rx2800i with AD221A?
What is the output of MC SYSMAN IO LIST_WWID? This command lists all tape device WWIDs that are not yet configured on FC. Are there any such ID? If yes, try executing MC SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE. This command connects the device and loading their drivers.
$ MC SYSMAN
SYSMAN> IO LIST_WWID
SYSMAN> IO AUTOCONFIGURE
SYSMAN> EXIT
$
Regards,
Ketan

Re: MSL2024 direct connect to rx2800i with AD221A?
In my previous response I specified IO LIST_WWID. Instead IO LIST_WWID use IO_FIND_WWID. IO_FIND_WWID probes all Fibre Channel ports and detects all undiscovered tapes. To configure newly attached FC tapes, use IO_FIND_WWID command prior to running the IO AUTOCONFIGURE. The exact set of commands are as below. Please refer online help for more details.
$ MC SYSMAN
SYSMAN> IO_FIND_WWID
SYSMAN> IO AUTOCONFIGURE
SYSMAN> EXIT
$
Sorry for the confusion.
Regards,
Ketan

So paths are still there from the fabric mode connect, and WWID can be seen, but no where to change the mode to loop for the direct connect on the server HBA end.

IIRC loop mode FC is not supported either.
Purely Personal Opinion
